How to open CD2 file?

An often recurring problem with DATAIR Cafeteria Document System Custom Text is that CD2 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CD2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CD2 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 Document System

The first step is to check if the computer has the Document System program installed. This can be achieved by typing Document System into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CD2 with Document System. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CD2 files.

Programs to open CD2 file

Remember to download programs supporting CD2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Document System with CD2 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CD2 file to open in the Document System application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CD2 file with the Document System application.

Step 3. Update Document System to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Document System program with the DATAIR Cafeteria Document System Custom Text file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the DATAIR Employee Benefit Systems, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CD2 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to CD2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 CD2 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CD2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CD2 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CD2 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting DATAIR Employee Benefit Systems, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CD2 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CD2 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CD2 file again. However, some background programs may block the CD2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
