How to open PGSR file?
The most common problem when using PowerGREP Sequence Results Format is that a specific PGSR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PGSR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PGSR 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 PowerGREP
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PowerGREP is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PowerGREP into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support PGSR files.
Programs to open PGSR file
Remember to download programs supporting PGSR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PowerGREP with PGSR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PGSR file still does not use the PowerGREP 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PowerGREP application as the default for handling the PGSR file.
Step 3. Update PowerGREP to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PowerGREP program with the PowerGREP Sequence Results 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 Just Great Software Co. Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PGSR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The PGSR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PGSR file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 PGSR file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PGSR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PGSR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PGSR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PGSR 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 PGSR file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PGSR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PGSR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
