The DCTMP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DCTMP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DCTMP file on each system platform.
What is DCTMP file?
The file with the extension DCTMP is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by DC++. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. DC++ Partially Downloaded Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.
How to open DCTMP file?
An often recurring problem with DC++ Partially Downloaded Format is that DCTMP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DCTMP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DCTMP 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 DC++
In this case, you should first verify that the DC++ application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DC++ into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DCTMP files.
Programs to open DCTMP file
Remember to download programs supporting DCTMP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DC++ with DCTMP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DCTMP file to open in the DC++ 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DC++ application as the default for handling the DCTMP file.
Step 3. Update DC++ to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DC++ program with the DC++ Partially Downloaded 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 DCTMP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DCTMP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DCTMP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DCTMP 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 DCTMP files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DCTMP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DCTMP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DCTMP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DCTMP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
