The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PTDB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PTDB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PTDB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.

Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PTDB 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PTDB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PTDB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
