How to open D$$ file?
The most common problem when using Gargoyle Interactive Fiction Story Format is that a specific D$$ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open D$$, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the D$$ 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 Gargoyle
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Gargoyle is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Gargoyle in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file D$$ with Gargoyle.

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 Gargoyle with D$$ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the D$$ file still does not use the Gargoyle program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the D$$ file with the Gargoyle program.
Step 3. Update Gargoyle to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Gargoyle program, it is possible that Gargoyle Interactive Fiction Story Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the D$$ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to D$$ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file D$$ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected D$$ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the D$$ files changes over time. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair D$$ file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file D$$ 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the D$$ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the D$$ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
