What is ESC file?
The file with the extension ESC is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is ARAISA SOFTWARE. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. PRTWin is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is PRTWin. This was created by ARAISA SOFTWARE.
How to open ESC file?
The most common problem when using PRTWin is that a specific ESC is not associated with the program. This causes the file ESC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ESC 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 PRTWin
The first step is to check if the computer has the PRTWin program installed. This can be achieved by typing PRTWin into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ESC files.
Programs to open ESC file
Remember to download programs supporting ESC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PRTWin with ESC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ESC file still does not use the PRTWin program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ESC file with the PRTWin program.
Step 3. Update PRTWin to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PRTWin program with the PRTWin file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ARAISA SOFTWARE website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ESC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The ESC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ESC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ESC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ESC 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 ESC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ESC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ARAISA SOFTWARE
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ESC 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ESC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ESC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ESC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
