Troubleshoot P3E Files
Common Problems Opening P3E Files
Adobe Photoshop CC Disappeared
Double-clicking your P3E file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open P3E File". Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe Photoshop CC for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your P3E with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: Another P3E-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Adobe Photoshop CC Requires Update
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Photoshop Repousse Settings File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Adobe Photoshop CC. The primary cause of this problem is that your Photoshop Repousse Settings File file was created by a different (newer) version of Adobe Photoshop CC than what's installed.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your P3E file and clicking "Properties".
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening P3E files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe Photoshop CC installed.
Other P3E File Opening Causes
Even with the correct version of Adobe Photoshop CC installed, you can still experience difficulties opening P3Es. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening P3Es. These issues include:
- Invalid P3E file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Accidental deletion of the description of the P3E file in the Windows registry
- Corrupt install of Adobe Photoshop CC or other P3E-related program
- The P3E itself is corrupted
- Your P3E has adversely impacted by malware
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your P3E file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Photoshop Repousse Settings File files
