How to open P2G file?
The main problem with Power2Go Project Format is that the P2G file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file P2G 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 P2G 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 Power2Go
In this case, you should first verify that the Power2Go application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Power2Go into the 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 P2G files.
Programs to open P2G file
Remember to download programs supporting P2G files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Power2Go with P2G files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P2G file still does not use the Power2Go 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Power2Go application as the default for handling the P2G file.
Step 3. Update Power2Go to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Power2Go program, it is possible that Power2Go Project Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the CyberLink Corp. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P2G file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the P2G 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file P2G or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected P2G files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the P2G 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular P2G file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CyberLink
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P2G 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 P2G file to another location.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the P2G file again. However, some background programs may block the P2G file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
