Remember to download programs supporting PF1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with PF1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PF1 file still does not use the SmartWare 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 select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PF1 file with the SmartWare application.
Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version
If, however, after binding SmartWare with SmartWare Project Source Code there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SmartWare Corporation website and install the latest version.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PF1 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 PF1 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PF1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PF1 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PF1 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SmartWare Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PF1 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. If possible, you can try to move the PF1 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PF1 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PF1 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
