Programs to open PSWX file
Remember to download programs supporting PSWX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Password Depot with PSWX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PSWX file still does not use the Password Depot program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PSWX file with the Password Depot program.
Step 3. Update Password Depot to the latest version
If, however, after binding Password Depot with Password Depot Portable Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the AceBIT GmbH page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSWX 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:
The PSWX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSWX 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PSWX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PSWX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PSWX 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PSWX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use AceBIT help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSWX 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PSWX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PSWX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
