Tips to open PVU file
Can't open the PVU file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open PVU files as well as a list of programs that support PVU files.

The PVU file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PVU files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PVU file on each system platform.
What is PVU file?
The file with the extension PVU is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is NOAA. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. PaleoVu Paleoenvironmental Data is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use PaleoVu to handle this file. This is a program created by NOAA.
How to open PVU file?
An often recurring problem with PaleoVu Paleoenvironmental Data is that PVU is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PVU to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PVU 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 PaleoVu
In this case, you should first verify that the PaleoVu application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PaleoVu in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PVU with PaleoVu. Below is a list of programs that support the file PVU.
Programs to open PVU file
Remember to download programs supporting PVU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PaleoVu with PVU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PVU file to open in the PaleoVu 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PVU file with the PaleoVu application.
Step 3. Update PaleoVu to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PaleoVu program with the PaleoVu Paleoenvironmental Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the NOAA website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PVU file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PVU file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 PVU or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PVU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PVU 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PVU file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting NOAA, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PVU 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PVU file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PVU file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
