The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

The PSG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PSG file. However, remember that not every infected PSG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PSG 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSG file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PSG 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PSG file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PSG file again. However, some background programs may block the PSG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
