How to open PM! file?
An often recurring problem with Pegasus Mail Address Book is that PM! is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PM! 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 PM! 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 Pegasus Mail
The first step is to check if the computer has the Pegasus Mail program installed. To do this, enter the name Pegasus Mail 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 PM! with Pegasus Mail. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PM! files.
Programs to open PM! file
Remember to download programs supporting PM! files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pegasus Mail with PM! files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PM! file to open in the Pegasus Mail application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pegasus Mail application as the default for handling the PM! file.
Step 3. Update Pegasus Mail to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Pegasus Mail program, it is possible that Pegasus Mail Address Book requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the David Harris website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PM! file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PM! file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PM! file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PM! files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PM! 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PM! file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting David Harris, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PM! 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PM! file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PM! file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PM! file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
