How to open DA7 file?

The main problem with Star Trek Generations Saved Game is that the DA7 file is incorrectly associated with programs.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DA7 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

Programs to open DA7 file

Remember to download programs supporting DA7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Star Trek Generations with DA7 files

If, despite the installed application, the DA7 file does not start in the Star Trek Generations application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 DA7 file with the Star Trek Generations program.

Step 3. Update Star Trek Generations to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Star Trek Generations program, it is possible that Star Trek Generations Saved Game requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microprose website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DA7 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The DA7 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DA7 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 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DA7 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DA7 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DA7 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DA7 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microprose, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DA7 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DA7 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DA7 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DA7 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
