What is PTR file?
The PTR file has been categorized as Misc Files. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. OS/2 Cursor Image Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The PMView Pro application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Blueprint Software Works, Inc..
How to open PTR file?
The main problem with OS/2 Cursor Image Format is that the PTR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PTR 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 PTR 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 PMView Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the PMView Pro program installed. This can be achieved by typing PMView Pro into the operating system search engine. 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 PTR.
Programs to open PTR file
Remember to download programs supporting PTR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PMView Pro with PTR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PTR file to open in the PMView Pro application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PTR file with the PMView Pro application.
Step 3. Update PMView Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding PMView Pro with OS/2 Cursor Image 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 Blueprint Software Works, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PTR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PTR 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 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PTR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PTR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PTR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PTR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PTR 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PTR file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PTR to close. However, some background programs may block the PTR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
