How to open DEH file?
The main problem with Doom DeHackEd Game Data Format is that the DEH file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DEH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DEH 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 DeHackEd
In this case, you should first verify that the DeHackEd application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DeHackEd into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support DEH files.
Programs to open DEH file
Remember to download programs supporting DEH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DeHackEd with DEH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DEH file to open in the DeHackEd application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DeHackEd application as the default for handling the DEH file.
Step 3. Update DeHackEd to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DeHackEd program with the Doom DeHackEd Game Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Greg Lewis website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DEH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DEH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DEH or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DEH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DEH file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DEH files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DEH 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DEH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DEH file again. However, some background programs may block the DEH file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
