Step 2. Create association of Corel PaintShop Pro with PSPAUTOSAVE files
If, despite the installed application, the PSPAUTOSAVE file does not start in the Corel PaintShop Pro application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Corel PaintShop Pro application as the default for handling the PSPAUTOSAVE file.
Step 3. Update Corel PaintShop Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding Corel PaintShop Pro with PaintShop Pro Autosave there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSPAUTOSAVE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The PSPAUTOSAVE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PSPAUTOSAVE 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PSPAUTOSAVE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PSPAUTOSAVE 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 PSPAUTOSAVE file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PSPAUTOSAVE file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSPAUTOSAVE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PSPAUTOSAVE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PSPAUTOSAVE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
