Remember to download programs supporting PANDO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pando with PANDO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PANDO file still does not use the Pando 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pando application as the default for handling the PANDO file.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PANDO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PANDO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PANDO or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PANDO 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 PANDO 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PANDO files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PANDO 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PANDO to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PANDO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PANDO file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PANDO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
