How to open P3I file?
The main problem with Pixie is that the P3I file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open P3I, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P3I 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 Pixie
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Pixie is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Pixie into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file P3I with Pixie. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open P3I files.
Programs to open P3I file
Remember to download programs supporting P3I files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pixie with P3I files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the P3I file to open in the Pixie application, but you can set it manually. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the P3I file with the Pixie application.
Step 3. Update Pixie to the latest version
If, however, after binding Pixie with Pixie there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Tech4Learning, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P3I file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to P3I files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the P3I file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover P3I 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 P3I 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged P3I files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Tech4Learning, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P3I 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. Copying the P3I file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the P3I file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the P3I file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
