Step 1. Install Computing File Sniffer

Programs to open DHCD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Computing File Sniffer with DHCD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DHCD file still does not use the Computing File Sniffer program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DHCD file with the Computing File Sniffer program.

Step 3. Update Computing File Sniffer to the latest version

If, however, after binding Computing File Sniffer with DHCD Computing Application Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DHCD 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 DHCD 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. 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 DHCD file. However, remember that not every infected DHCD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DHCD 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DHCD file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DHCD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DHCD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DHCD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DHCD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
