How to open PJC file?

An often recurring problem with Master Genealogist is that PJC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PJC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PJC 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 Master Genealogist

The first step is to check if the computer has the Master Genealogist program installed. To do this, enter the name Master Genealogist into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PJC.

Programs to open PJC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Master Genealogist with PJC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PJC file to open in the Master Genealogist application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 PJC file with the Master Genealogist application.

Step 3. Update Master Genealogist to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Master Genealogist program with the Master Genealogist file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Wholly Genes, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PJC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 PJC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PJC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PJC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PJC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Wholly Genes, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PJC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 PJC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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 you have to wait for the session to the file PJC to close. However, some background programs may block the PJC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
