How to open P9S file?

Programs to open P9S file

Remember to download programs supporting P9S files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Plane9 with P9S files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P9S file still does not use the Plane9 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 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 P9S file with the Plane9 program.

Step 3. Update Plane9 to the latest version

If, however, after binding Plane9 with Plane9 Scene Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P9S 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to P9S files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file P9S or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected P9S file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of P9S file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair P9S file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P9S 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 P9S to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
