What is PEKEY file?
The file in the PEKEY format belongs to the category. In addition to this file, the category includes 9 related files. PhysicsEditor Key is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.
How to open PEKEY file?
An often recurring problem with PhysicsEditor Key is that PEKEY is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PEKEY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PEKEY 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 PhysicsEditor
In this case, you should first verify that the PhysicsEditor application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PhysicsEditor into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PEKEY files.
Programs to open PEKEY file
Remember to download programs supporting PEKEY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PhysicsEditor with PEKEY files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PEKEY file still does not use the PhysicsEditor 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PhysicsEditor application as the default for handling the PEKEY file.
Step 3. Update PhysicsEditor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PhysicsEditor program with the PhysicsEditor Key file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PEKEY 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 PEKEY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PEKEY file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 PEKEY or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PEKEY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PEKEY file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PEKEY files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PEKEY 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PEKEY file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PEKEY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PEKEY file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
