How to open DFXP file?

The main problem with Timed Text Markup Language is that the DFXP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DFXP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DFXP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Microsoft Silverlight

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Silverlight program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Silverlight in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DFXP with Microsoft Silverlight. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DFXP files.

Programs to open DFXP file

Remember to download programs supporting DFXP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Silverlight with DFXP files

If, despite the installed application, the DFXP file does not start in the Microsoft Silverlight application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DFXP file with the Microsoft Silverlight program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Silverlight to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft Silverlight with Timed Text Markup Language there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DFXP file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DFXP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DFXP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DFXP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DFXP files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DFXP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DFXP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move DFXP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DFXP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DFXP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
