How to open (D) file?
The most common problem when using PcAnywhere Temporary is that a specific (D) is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that (D) files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the (D) 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 pcAnywhere
In this case, you should first verify that the pcAnywhere application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name pcAnywhere into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file (D) with pcAnywhere.

Programs to open (D) file
Remember to download programs supporting (D) files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of pcAnywhere with (D) files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the (D) file to open in the pcAnywhere application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the (D) file with the pcAnywhere application.
Step 3. Update pcAnywhere to the latest version
If, despite the association of the pcAnywhere program with the PcAnywhere Temporary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the (D) file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to (D) files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 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 (D) file. However, remember that not every infected (D) file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the (D) file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair (D) file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Symantec Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted (D) files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the (D) file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file (D) to close. 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.
