How to open PGT file?
The most common problem when using Pokémon Gift Format is that a specific PGT is not associated with the program. This causes the file PGT 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 PGT 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 Pokesav
In this case, you should first verify that the Pokesav application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Pokesav into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PGT with Pokesav. Below is a list of programs that support the file PGT.
Programs to open PGT file
Remember to download programs supporting PGT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pokesav with PGT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PGT file to open in the Pokesav application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PGT file with the Pokesav application.
Step 3. Update Pokesav to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Pokesav program, it is possible that Pokémon Gift Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PGT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The PGT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PGT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PGT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PGT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PGT files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PGT file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PGT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PGT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PGT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PGT file again. However, some background programs may block the PGT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
