What is PIS file?

The PIS file has been categorized as Data Files. The author of this format is ps2dis. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. PS2DIS Project Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open PIS file?

The most common problem when using PS2DIS Project Format is that a specific PIS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PIS 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 PIS 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 ps2dis

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ps2dis is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ps2dis in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PIS with ps2dis. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PIS files.

Programs to open PIS file

Remember to download programs supporting PIS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ps2dis with PIS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PIS file still does not use the ps2dis program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PIS file with the ps2dis program.

Step 3. Update ps2dis to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ps2dis program with the PS2DIS Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PIS file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The PIS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PIS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PIS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PIS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PIS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 PIS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PIS 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PIS file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PIS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PIS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
