How to open PT file?
An often recurring problem with Panther Project Format is that PT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PT 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 Panther
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Panther is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Panther into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PT with Panther. Below is a list of programs that support the file PT.
Programs to open PT file
Remember to download programs supporting PT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Panther with PT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PT file still does not use the Panther program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PT file with the Panther program.
Step 3. Update Panther to the latest version
If, however, after binding Panther with Panther Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Prolifics website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Panther Team
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PT to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PT to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
