How to open PSPPALETTE file?

This causes the file PSPPALETTE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PSPPALETTE 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 Corel PaintShop Pro

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PSPPALETTE.

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

If, despite the installed application, the PSPPALETTE 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 PSPPALETTE file.

Step 3. Update Corel PaintShop Pro to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSPPALETTE 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:

The PSPPALETTE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PSPPALETTE file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PSPPALETTE file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PSPPALETTE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PSPPALETTE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSPPALETTE file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PSPPALETTE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PSPPALETTE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PSPPALETTE file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
