Programs to open DAP file
Remember to download programs supporting DAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Download Accelerator Plus with DAP files
If, despite the installed application, the DAP file does not start in the Download Accelerator Plus application, you must create a file 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DAP file with the Download Accelerator Plus application.
Step 3. Update Download Accelerator Plus to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Download Accelerator Plus program, it is possible that Download Accelerator Partial Download Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SpeedBit Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DAP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 DAP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DAP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DAP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DAP 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DAP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SpeedBit Ltd. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DAP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DAP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
