Step 2. Create association of Lacerte Tax with PD6 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PD6 file still does not use the Lacerte Tax program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 PD6 file with the Lacerte Tax application.

Step 3. Update Lacerte Tax to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Lacerte Tax program with the Lacerte Tax file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Intuit Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PD6 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PD6 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PD6 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PD6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PD6 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 PD6 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Intuit Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PD6 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PD6 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PD6 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 PD6 to close. However, some background programs may block the PD6 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
