How to open D71 file?
The most common problem when using Commodore Emulator is that a specific D71 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open D71, 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 D71 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 VICE
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that VICE is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name VICE in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support D71 files.
Programs to open D71 file
Remember to download programs supporting D71 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VICE with D71 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the D71 file still does not use the VICE 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the D71 file with the VICE program.
Step 3. Update VICE to the latest version
If, despite the association of the VICE program with the Commodore Emulator 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 VICE page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the D71 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to D71 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the D71 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected D71 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of D71 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.
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 D71 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file D71 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the D71 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the D71 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
