How to open PNUE file?
The most common problem when using Norton UnErase is that a specific PNUE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PNUE, 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 PNUE 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Norton Utilities is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Norton Utilities into the system search engine.

Programs to open PNUE file
Remember to download programs supporting PNUE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Utilities with PNUE files
If, despite the installed application, the PNUE file does not start in the Norton Utilities application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Norton Utilities application as the default for handling the PNUE file.
Step 3. Update Norton Utilities to the latest version
If, however, after binding Norton Utilities with Norton UnErase there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Symantec Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PNUE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PNUE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PNUE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PNUE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PNUE file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PNUE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Symantec Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PNUE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PNUE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PNUE to close. However, some background programs may block the PNUE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
