Step 2. Create association of PowerGREP with PGL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PGL file still does not use the PowerGREP program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 PGL file with the PowerGREP application.
Step 3. Update PowerGREP to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the PowerGREP program, it is possible that PowerGREP Library requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Just Great Software Co. Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PGL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PGL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PGL file. Sometimes virus-infected PGL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PGL file. 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 ability to automatically repair PGL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Just Great Software Co. Ltd. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PGL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move PGL to a different directory.
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 PGL to close. 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.
