How to open P2I file?
An often recurring problem with Power2Go Disc Image is that P2I is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file P2I 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 P2I 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Power2Go is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Power2Go 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 P2I files.
Programs to open P2I file
Remember to download programs supporting P2I files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Power2Go with P2I files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P2I file still does not use the Power2Go program, it means no 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Power2Go application as the default for handling the P2I file.
Step 3. Update Power2Go to the latest version
If, however, after binding Power2Go with Power2Go Disc Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the CyberLink Corp. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P2I file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The P2I file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the P2I file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our P2I file. However, remember that not every infected P2I file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the P2I files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged P2I files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CyberLink, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted P2I files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move P2I to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file P2I to close. However, some background programs may block the P2I file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
