How to open LGF file?
The most common problem when using PMSCAN Log Format is that a specific LGF is not associated with the program. This causes the file LGF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGF 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 PMSCAN
In this case, you should first verify that the PMSCAN application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PMSCAN in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support LGF files.
Programs to open LGF file
Remember to download programs supporting LGF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PMSCAN with LGF files
If, despite the installed application, the LGF file does not start in the PMSCAN application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LGF file with the PMSCAN program.
Step 3. Update PMSCAN to the latest version
If, however, after binding PMSCAN with PMSCAN Log Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LGF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LGF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LGF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LGF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LGF files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LGF file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LGF 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LGF file to another location will fix the problem.
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. 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 LGF file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
