What is DGC file?

How to open DGC file?
The most common problem when using DGCA Format Archive is that a specific DGC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DGC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DGC 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 DGCA
In this case, you should first verify that the DGCA application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DGCA 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 DGC files.
Programs to open DGC file
Remember to download programs supporting DGC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DGCA with DGC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DGC file still does not use the DGCA program, it means no association. 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 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 DGC file with the DGCA program.
Step 3. Update DGCA to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DGCA program with the DGCA Format Archive 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 DGC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the DGC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DGC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DGC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DGC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DGC files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DGC 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 DGC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DGC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DGC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
