How to open DCDC file?
The main problem with Astound Presentation is that the DCDC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DCDC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DCDC 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 Astound
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Astound is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Astound in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DCDC with Astound. Below is a list of programs that support the file DCDC.
Programs to open DCDC file
Remember to download programs supporting DCDC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Astound with DCDC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DCDC file still does not use the Astound program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 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 Astound application as the default for handling the DCDC file.
Step 3. Update Astound to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Astound program, it is possible that Astound Presentation requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Gold Disk Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DCDC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The DCDC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DCDC file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DCDC file. Sometimes virus-infected DCDC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DCDC file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DCDC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Gold Disk Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DCDC 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. It is best to move DCDC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DCDC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DCDC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
