Troubleshoot PFR Files


Common Problems Opening PFR Files

PaintShop Pro Isn't There

When you double-click your PFR file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have PaintShop Pro for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your PFR because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Outdated PaintShop Pro

Sometimes your installed version of PaintShop Pro won't support your Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Frame Data file. Visit the Corel website to download (or purchase) the latest version of PaintShop Pro. Most of the time your Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Frame Data file was created by a newer PaintShop Pro than what you have installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the PFR file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening PFR files are due to having the wrong version of PaintShop Pro installed.


Other PFR File Issues

Assuming you have the right PaintShop Pro version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening PFR files. Other PFR opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for PFR are wrong
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry PFR description
  • Defective install of a PFR program, such as PaintShop Pro
  • Your PFR file is corrupted (issues with your Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Frame Data file itself)
  • Your PFR is infected with malware
  • Hardware related to PFRs has device driver corruption
  • Windows cannot load your Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Frame Data file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
