How to open DC4 file?
An often recurring problem with ViaThinkSoft (De)Coder 4 Format is that DC4 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DC4 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DC4 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 (De)Coder
The first step is to check if the computer has the (De)Coder program installed. To do this, enter the name (De)Coder into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DC4 with (De)Coder. Below you will find a list of applications that support DC4 files.
Programs to open DC4 file
Remember to download programs supporting DC4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of (De)Coder with DC4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DC4 file to open in the (De)Coder 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DC4 file with the (De)Coder program.
Step 3. Update (De)Coder to the latest version
If, despite the association of the (De)Coder program with the ViaThinkSoft (De)Coder 4 Format 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 DC4 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DC4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DC4 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DC4 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DC4 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 DC4 file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DC4 files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DC4 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.
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. It is best to move DC4 to a different directory.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DC4 file again. However, some background programs may block the DC4 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
