What is PEX file?
The PEX file has been categorized as Data Files. It was designed by Merak. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. Merak Peep Data Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Merak Peep. This was created by Schlumberger Limited.
How to open PEX file?
The main problem with Merak Peep Data Format is that the PEX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PEX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PEX 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 Merak Peep
In this case, you should first verify that the Merak Peep application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Merak Peep in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file PEX.
Programs to open PEX file
Remember to download programs supporting PEX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Merak Peep with PEX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PEX file still does not use the Merak Peep program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PEX file with the Merak Peep program.
Step 3. Update Merak Peep to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Merak Peep program with the Merak Peep Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Schlumberger Limited page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PEX 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 PEX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PEX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PEX file. However, remember that not every infected PEX 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 PEX 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.
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 PEX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Merak help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PEX 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. It is best to move PEX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
