Remember to download programs supporting P2S files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Internet Explorer with P2S files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P2S file still does not use the Microsoft Internet Explorer program, it means no 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the P2S file with the Microsoft Internet Explorer application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Internet Explorer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Internet Explorer program, it is possible that PCSX2 Saved State requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P2S file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The P2S file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to P2S files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our P2S file. However, remember that not every infected P2S 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 P2S 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged P2S files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact PCSX2
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P2S 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 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. Copying the P2S file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the P2S file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
