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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The PNO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PNO 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 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PNO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PNO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PNO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PNO file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PNO 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PNO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PNO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PNO to close. However, some background programs may block the PNO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
