How to open DDR file?
An often recurring problem with DDRemote Parameter is that DDR is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DDR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DDR 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 DDRemote
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DDRemote is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DDRemote 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 DDR with DDRemote. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DDR files.
Programs to open DDR file
Remember to download programs supporting DDR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DDRemote with DDR files
If, despite the installed application, the DDR file does not start in the DDRemote 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DDR file with the DDRemote program.
Step 3. Update DDRemote to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DDRemote program with the DDRemote Parameter file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microcosm Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DDR 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DDR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 DDR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DDR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DDR 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 DDR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microcosm Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DDR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DDR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DDR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DDR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DDR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
