How to open DA2 file?
The main problem with DeepAnalysis Save Format is that the DA2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DA2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DA2 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 DeepAnalysis
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DeepAnalysis is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DeepAnalysis into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DA2 with DeepAnalysis. Below is a list of programs that support the file DA2.
Programs to open DA2 file
Remember to download programs supporting DA2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DeepAnalysis with DA2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DA2 file still does not use the DeepAnalysis 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 DA2 file with the DeepAnalysis program.
Step 3. Update DeepAnalysis to the latest version
If, however, after binding DeepAnalysis with DeepAnalysis Save Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DA2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 DA2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DA2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DA2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DA2 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DA2 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DA2 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DA2 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DA2 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DA2 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
