How to open BDH file?
The most common problem when using Silk Performer Include is that a specific BDH is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BDH 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 BDH 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 Silk Performer

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BDH with Silk Performer.

Programs to open BDH file
Remember to download programs supporting BDH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Silk Performer with BDH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BDH file to open in the Silk Performer application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Silk Performer application as the default for handling the BDH file.
Step 3. Update Silk Performer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Silk Performer with Silk Performer Include there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Borland Software Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BDH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BDH file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BDH file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BDH 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 BDH file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BDH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Borland Software Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BDH 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BDH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 BDH to close. However, some background programs may block the BDH file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
