Troubleshooting Problems Opening PRM Files


Common PRM Opening Problems

GSAS Not Present

When trying to open your PRM file, you get the error "Can't Open PRM File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have GSAS for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your PRM file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your PRM, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Obsolete Version of GSAS

Your Parameter File file is incompatible with GSAS because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest GSAS version from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your PRM file and clicking "Properties".


Primarily, problems experienced when opening PRM files are due to having the incorrect version of GSAS installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading PRM Files

Assuming you have the right GSAS version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening PRM files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening PRMs. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for PRM
  • Deletion of the PRM file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Defective install of a PRM program, such as GSAS
  • PRM file corruption
  • Malware-tainted PRM file can't be opened
  • Drivers associated with PRM software need to be updated
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Parameter File file successfully
