Programs to open PNZ file

Remember to download programs supporting PNZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Panorama with PNZ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PNZ file to open in the Panorama application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PNZ file with the Panorama application.

Step 3. Update Panorama to the latest version

If, however, after binding Panorama with Panorama Database Set 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 ProVUE Development website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PNZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PNZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PNZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PNZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PNZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ProVUE Development, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PNZ 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. Copying the PNZ 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PNZ to close. However, some background programs may block the PNZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
