How to open DAPF file?
The most common problem when using DinkeyAdd Parameter is that a specific DAPF is not associated with the program. This causes the file DAPF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DAPF 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 DDAdd
In this case, you should first verify that the DDAdd application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DDAdd into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DAPF with DDAdd. Below you will find a list of applications that support DAPF files.
Programs to open DAPF file
Remember to download programs supporting DAPF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DDAdd with DAPF files
If, despite the installed application, the DAPF file does not start in the DDAdd application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DAPF file with the DDAdd application.
Step 3. Update DDAdd to the latest version
If, however, after binding DDAdd with DinkeyAdd Parameter there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microcosm Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DAPF 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 DAPF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DAPF 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DAPF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DAPF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DAPF files changes over time. 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 DAPF files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microcosm Ltd.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DAPF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the DAPF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DAPF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DAPF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DAPF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
