Troubleshoot PML Files


Common PML Opening Problems

Process Monitor Removed

Double-clicking your PML file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open PML File". Usually, this is because you do not have Process Monitor for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your PML with Process Monitor, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your PML file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Obsolete Version of Process Monitor

Your Process Monitor Log File file is incompatible with Process Monitor because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Process Monitor from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Process Monitor Log File file was created by a newer version of Process Monitor than you have on your PC.


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


Conclusion: The majority of PML file opening issues are due to not having the correct Process Monitor version installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening PMLs

Assuming you have the right Process Monitor version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening PML files. If you're still experiencing problems opening PML files, there could be other computer problems. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
