Step 2. Create association of Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor with PAYMRSS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PAYMRSS file still does not use the Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor application as the default for handling the PAYMRSS file.
Step 3. Update Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor program with the Jigsaw Ransomware Affected Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Michael Gillespie website or update the program from the application.
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PAYMRSS 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 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PAYMRSS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PAYMRSS 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 PAYMRSS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PAYMRSS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PAYMRSS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PAYMRSS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PAYMRSS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PAYMRSS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PAYMRSS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
