How to open PMK file?
An often recurring problem with Pegasus Mail Keyboard Setting is that PMK is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PMK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PMK 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. To do this, enter the name Pegasus Mail into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PMK files.
Programs to open PMK file
Remember to download programs supporting PMK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pegasus Mail with PMK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PMK 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 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pegasus Mail application as the default for handling the PMK 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The fault may also lie with the Pegasus Mail program, it is possible that Pegasus Mail Keyboard Setting requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the David Harris page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PMK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The PMK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PMK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PMK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PMK 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 PMK files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PMK files. 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PMK 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PMK file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PMK 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. However, some background programs may block the PMK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
