What is VSK file?

The file with the extension VSK is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by PocketMind. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files.

This was created by PocketMind.

How to open VSK file?

An often recurring problem with PocketMusic Skin is that VSK is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open VSK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VSK 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 PocketMusic

In this case, you should first verify that the PocketMusic application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PocketMusic 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VSK files.

Programs to open VSK file

Remember to download programs supporting VSK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of PocketMusic with VSK files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VSK file still does not use the PocketMusic program, it means no association. 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. 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 PocketMusic application as the default for handling the VSK file.

Step 3. Update PocketMusic to the latest version

If, despite the association of the PocketMusic program with the PocketMusic Skin file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the PocketMind website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VSK file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The VSK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VSK file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 VSK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VSK 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 VSK file. 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 VSK files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting PocketMind, 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 VSK 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. It is best to move VSK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the VSK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VSK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
