The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PHV file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PHV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PHV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PHV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PHV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Husqvarna Viking help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PHV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the PHV file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PHV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PHV file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
