How to open DA6 file?
The most common problem when using Star Trek Generations Saved Game is that a specific DA6 is not associated with the program.

This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DA6 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 Star Trek Generations
The first step is to check if the computer has the Star Trek Generations program installed. To do this, enter the name Star Trek Generations into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file DA6.
Programs to open DA6 file
Remember to download programs supporting DA6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Star Trek Generations with DA6 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DA6 file still does not use the Star Trek Generations 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. 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 DA6 file with the Star Trek Generations program.
Step 3. Update Star Trek Generations to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Star Trek Generations program with the Star Trek Generations Saved Game file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microprose website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DA6 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DA6 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DA6 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DA6 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 DA6 file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DA6 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microprose help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DA6 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.
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. It is best to move DA6 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DA6 to close. However, some background programs may block the DA6 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
