How to open D2CT file?

The main problem with Disinfectant For Mac is that the D2CT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open D2CT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the D2CT 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 Disinfectant

In this case, you should first verify that the Disinfectant application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Disinfectant in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file D2CT with Disinfectant. Below you will find a list of applications that support D2CT files.

Programs to open D2CT file

Remember to download programs supporting D2CT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Disinfectant with D2CT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the D2CT file still does not use the Disinfectant program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Disinfectant application as the default for handling the D2CT file.

Step 3. Update Disinfectant to the latest version

If, however, after binding Disinfectant with Disinfectant For Mac there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the John Norstadt website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the D2CT file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The D2CT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the D2CT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our D2CT file. Sometimes virus-infected D2CT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of D2CT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged D2CT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact John Norstadt
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted D2CT 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move D2CT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the D2CT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file D2CT 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.
