How to open PVG file?
An often recurring problem with Encarta World Atlas Pushpins is that PVG is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PVG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PVG 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 Microsoft Encarta
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Encarta application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Encarta into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PVG files.
Programs to open PVG file
Remember to download programs supporting PVG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Encarta with PVG files
If, despite the installed application, the PVG file does not start in the Microsoft Encarta application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PVG file with the Microsoft Encarta application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Encarta to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Encarta with Encarta World Atlas Pushpins there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PVG 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. Usually this applies to PVG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PVG file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PVG 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 PVG files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PVG files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PVG 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. Copying the PVG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PVG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PVG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
