PJD File Complications
Common PJD Opening Problems
Portfolio Isn't There
You attempt to load your PJD file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The PJD File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Portfolio for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your PJD file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your PJD, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Obsolete Version of Portfolio
Your Portfolio Exported Categories File file is incompatible with Portfolio because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Portfolio version from the Extensis website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your Portfolio Exported Categories File file was created by a newer Portfolio than what you have installed.
Tip: Investigate your PJD file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Regardless, most of the PJD file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Portfolio installed.
Other PJD File Issues
Even with the correct version of Portfolio installed, you can still experience difficulties opening PJDs. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening PJD files. Additional factors include:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for PJD
- Corruption of the PJD file description inside the Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the PJD format
- PJD file corruption
- Past or present virus infection has affected your PJD
- Device drivers for PJD-related hardware are out-of-date
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Portfolio Exported Categories File format
