How to open PXI file?
The most common problem when using PlexTools Disc Image is that a specific PXI is not associated with the program. This causes the file PXI 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 PXI 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 UltraISO
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that UltraISO is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name UltraISO 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 PXI with UltraISO. Below is a list of programs that support the file PXI.
Programs to open PXI file
Remember to download programs supporting PXI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of UltraISO with PXI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PXI file to open in the UltraISO application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 PXI file with the UltraISO application.
Step 3. Update UltraISO to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the UltraISO program, it is possible that PlexTools Disc Image requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the EZB Systems, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PXI 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 PXI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PXI 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PXI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PXI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PXI 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PXI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Plextor, 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 PXI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 PXI to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 PXI file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
