How to open PM$ file?
The most common problem when using Pegasus Mail Temporary is that a specific PM$ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PM$, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PM$ 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Pegasus Mail is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Pegasus Mail into the operating 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file PM$.
Programs to open PM$ 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
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PM$ file still does not use the Pegasus Mail program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PM$ file with the Pegasus Mail application.
Step 3. Update Pegasus Mail to the latest version
If, however, after binding Pegasus Mail with Pegasus Mail Temporary there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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. 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 PM$ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PM$ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PM$ 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 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PM$ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use David Harris help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PM$ 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. It is best to move PM$ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PM$ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PM$ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
