Programs to open PSOD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Easy Media Creator with PSOD files

If, despite the installed application, the PSOD file does not start in the Easy Media Creator application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Easy Media Creator application as the default for handling the PSOD file.

Step 3. Update Easy Media Creator to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Easy Media Creator program, it is possible that Roxio Easy Media Creator Album requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Roxio website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PSOD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 PSOD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PSOD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PSOD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSOD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Roxio, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PSOD 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 PSOD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PSOD file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
