How to open PHN file?
The main problem with Algodoo Phun Phunlet is that the PHN file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PHN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PHN 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 Algodoo
The first step is to check if the computer has the Algodoo program installed. To do this, enter the name Algodoo into the system search engine. 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 PHN.
Programs to open PHN file
Remember to download programs supporting PHN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Algodoo with PHN files
If, despite the installed application, the PHN file does not start in the Algodoo application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Algodoo application as the default for handling the PHN file.
Step 3. Update Algodoo to the latest version
If, however, after binding Algodoo with Algodoo Phun Phunlet there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PHN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PHN file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 PHN file. Sometimes virus-infected PHN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PHN file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 PHN files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PHN 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PHN file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PHN file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
