Sources of PKO Problems
Issues Opening PKO Files
packø Disappeared
You attempt to load your PKO file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The PKO File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have packø installed for %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: If you don't have packø installed, and you know of another program to open your PKO file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Outdated packø
In other instances, your Packo Package file version may not be supported by your version of packø. Download the latest packø version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Packo Package file was probably created by a newer release of packø than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the PKO file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening PKO files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Additional PKO Opening Issues
Errors opening Packo Package files can still occur even with the latest packø software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening PKO files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- PKO file type Registry entries are wrong
- Corruption of the PKO file description inside the Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the PKO format
- PKO file corruption
- PKO file integrity has been compromised by malware
- Device drivers for PKO-related hardware are out-of-date
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Packo Package files
