How to open DFH file?
An often recurring problem with SONAR Kit is that DFH is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DFH, 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 DFH 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 SONAR
In this case, you should first verify that the SONAR application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SONAR in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file DFH.
Programs to open DFH file
Remember to download programs supporting DFH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SONAR with DFH files
If, despite the installed application, the DFH file does not start in the SONAR application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DFH file with the SONAR application.
Step 3. Update SONAR to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SONAR program with the SONAR Kit file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Cakewalk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DFH 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 DFH file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DFH or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DFH 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 DFH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DFH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Cakewalk, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DFH 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move DFH 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DFH file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
