How to open PC file?
An often recurring problem with Personal Composer Format is that PC is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PC 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 Personal Composer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Personal Composer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Personal Composer 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 PC with Personal Composer. Below is a list of programs that support the file PC.
Programs to open PC file
Remember to download programs supporting PC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Personal Composer with PC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PC file to open in the Personal Composer application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 PC file with the Personal Composer application.
Step 3. Update Personal Composer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Personal Composer program, it is possible that Personal Composer Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Personal Composer Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PC 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PC files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Personal Composer, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PC to close. However, some background programs may block the PC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
