Step 2. Create association of Puppy Linux with ATAHD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ATAHD file still does not use the Puppy Linux program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 3. Update Puppy Linux to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ATAHD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ATAHD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ATAHD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ATAHD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ATAHD file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ATAHD file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ATAHD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ATAHD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ATAHD to close. However, some background programs may block the ATAHD file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
