The PNDE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PNDE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PNDE file on each system platform.
What is PNDE file?
The file with the extension PNDE is the Misc Files file type. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Norton Utilities is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Norton Utilities to handle this file. This is a program created by Symantec Corporation. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. The Norton SystemWorks programs will also handle the file when the Norton Utilities program does not fulfill its role.
How to open PNDE file?
The main problem with Norton Utilities is that the PNDE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PNDE, 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 PNDE 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 Norton Utilities
The first step is to check if the computer has the Norton Utilities program installed. To do this, enter the name Norton Utilities into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file PNDE.
Programs to open PNDE file
Remember to download programs supporting PNDE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Utilities with PNDE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PNDE file to open in the Norton Utilities 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PNDE file with the Norton Utilities program.
Step 3. Update Norton Utilities to the latest version
If, however, after binding Norton Utilities with Norton Utilities there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PNDE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The PNDE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PNDE 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PNDE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PNDE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PNDE 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 ability to automatically repair PNDE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, 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 PNDE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PNDE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PNDE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
