How to open DA9 file?
The most common problem when using Star Trek Generations Autosave Game is that a specific DA9 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DA9, 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 DA9 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. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DA9 files.
Programs to open DA9 file
Remember to download programs supporting DA9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Star Trek Generations with DA9 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DA9 file to open in the Star Trek Generations application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Star Trek Generations application as the default for handling the DA9 file.
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may also lie with the Star Trek Generations program, it is possible that Star Trek Generations Autosave Game requires a newer version of the program.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 DA9 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 DA9 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DA9 file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DA9 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DA9 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 DA9 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DA9 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microprose
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DA9 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DA9 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DA9 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
