What is DDA file?

The file in the DDA format belongs to the Graphic Files category. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. TNTmips Import is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is TNTmips. This was created by MicroImages, Inc..

How to open DDA file?

The main problem with TNTmips Import is that the DDA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DDA 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 DDA 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 TNTmips

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TNTmips is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TNTmips 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 DDA files.

Programs to open DDA file

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

Step 2. Create association of TNTmips with DDA files

If, despite the installed application, the DDA file does not start in the TNTmips application, you must create a file 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DDA file with the TNTmips application.

Step 3. Update TNTmips to the latest version

If, however, after binding TNTmips with TNTmips Import there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the MicroImages, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DDA file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DDA file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DDA file. Sometimes virus-infected DDA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DDA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DDA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DDA 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. If possible, you can try to move the DDA file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DDA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
