In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. 3D Studio Max Process Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open PXP file?
An often recurring problem with 3D Studio Max Process Format is that PXP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PXP 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 PXP 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 3ds Max
The first step is to check if the computer has the 3ds Max program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name 3ds Max in it. 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 PXP files.
Programs to open PXP file
Remember to download programs supporting PXP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3ds Max with PXP files
If, despite the installed application, the PXP file does not start in the 3ds Max application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 3ds Max application as the default for handling the PXP file.
Step 3. Update 3ds Max to the latest version
If, however, after binding 3ds Max with 3D Studio Max Process Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PXP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PXP 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PXP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PXP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PXP file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged PXP files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PXP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PXP to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PXP file again. However, some background programs may block the PXP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
