How to open DBD file?
An often recurring problem with DemoShield Project is that DBD is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DBD, 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 DBD 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 DemoShield
The first step is to check if the computer has the DemoShield program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DemoShield in it. 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 DBD files.
Programs to open DBD file
Remember to download programs supporting DBD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DemoShield with DBD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DBD file to open in the DemoShield application, but you can set it manually. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DBD file with the DemoShield program.
Step 3. Update DemoShield to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DemoShield program with the DemoShield Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DBD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DBD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 DBD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DBD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DBD file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DBD files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DBD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DBD file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DBD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DBD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
