How to open PUI file?
The main problem with Foobar2000 Panels UI Configuration is that the PUI file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PUI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PUI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Foobar2000
The first step is to check if the computer has the Foobar2000 program installed. To do this, enter the name Foobar2000 into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file PUI.
Programs to open PUI file
Remember to download programs supporting PUI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Foobar2000 with PUI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PUI file to open in the Foobar2000 application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PUI file with the Foobar2000 application.
Step 3. Update Foobar2000 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Foobar2000 program with the Foobar2000 Panels UI Configuration file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Peter Pawlowski page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PUI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PUI file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PUI file. Sometimes virus-infected PUI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PUI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PUI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Peter Pawlowski help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PUI except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PUI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PUI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PUI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
