How to open I17 file?

The main problem with Pixel PowerCollage Image is that the I17 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that I17 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the I17 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 XnView

In this case, you should first verify that the XnView application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file I17 with XnView. Below you will find a list of applications that support I17 files.

Programs to open I17 file

Remember to download programs supporting I17 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XnView with I17 files

If, despite the installed application, the I17 file does not start in the XnView application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the I17 file with the XnView program.

Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Pixel PowerCollage Image requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the I17 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to I17 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the I17 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover I17 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the I17 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair I17 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted I17 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the I17 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the I17 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
