Step 2. Create association of Corel PaintShop Pro with PS7 files

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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PS7 file with the Corel PaintShop Pro application.
Step 3. Update Corel PaintShop Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding Corel PaintShop Pro with Corel PaintShop Photo Pro there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PS7 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The PS7 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PS7 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. 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 PS7 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PS7 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PS7 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PS7 files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PS7 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PS7 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PS7 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
