Programs to open DCK file

Remember to download programs supporting DCK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Resolume Avenue with DCK files

If, despite the installed application, the DCK file does not start in the Resolume Avenue application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DCK file with the Resolume Avenue application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DCK 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 DCK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DCK 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DCK file. However, remember that not every infected DCK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DCK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DCK file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DCK files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 DCK to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DCK file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
