How to open DTE file?
The most common problem when using DoroTree Family Tree Data Format is that a specific DTE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DTE, 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 DTE 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 DoroTree
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DoroTree is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DoroTree into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file DTE.
Programs to open DTE file
Remember to download programs supporting DTE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DoroTree with DTE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DTE file to open in the DoroTree application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DoroTree application as the default for handling the DTE file.
Step 3. Update DoroTree to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DoroTree program with the DoroTree Family Tree Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the DoroTree Technologies website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DTE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DTE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DTE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DTE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DTE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DTE 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DTE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DTE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DTE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
