Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PPENC 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. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PPENC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PPENC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PPENC 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PPENC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PPENC 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PPENC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PPENC file again. However, some background programs may block the PPENC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
