How to open PNV file?
An often recurring problem with Pegasus Mail Stored Searches is that PNV is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PNV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PNV 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. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PNV.
Programs to open PNV file
Remember to download programs supporting PNV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pegasus Mail with PNV files
If, despite the installed application, the PNV file does not start in the Pegasus Mail application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pegasus Mail application as the default for handling the PNV 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The fault may also lie with the Pegasus Mail program, it is possible that Pegasus Mail Stored Searches requires a newer version of the program.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 PNV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PNV file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PNV file. Sometimes virus-infected PNV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PNV file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 PNV file corruption. 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 file PNV except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the PNV file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PNV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
