How to open PQE file?
The main problem with Ontrack EasyRecovery Recovered Data is that the PQE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PQE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PQE 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 Ontrack EasyRecovery
The first step is to check if the computer has the Ontrack EasyRecovery program installed. This can be achieved by typing Ontrack EasyRecovery 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PQE files.
Programs to open PQE file
Remember to download programs supporting PQE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ontrack EasyRecovery with PQE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PQE file still does not use the Ontrack EasyRecovery program, it means no association. 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. 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 Ontrack EasyRecovery application as the default for handling the PQE file.
Step 3. Update Ontrack EasyRecovery to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ontrack EasyRecovery program with the Ontrack EasyRecovery Recovered Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Kroll Ontrack Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PQE 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PQE 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PQE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PQE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PQE files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PQE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Kroll Ontrack Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PQE 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PQE 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PQE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PQE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
