The DHT file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DHT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DHT file on each system platform.
What is DHT file?
The file in the DHT format belongs to the Data Files category. The author of this format is Aptech. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. GAUSS Data Set Header Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.
How to open DHT file?
An often recurring problem with GAUSS Data Set Header Format is that DHT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DHT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DHT 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 GAUSS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GAUSS is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GAUSS into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support DHT files.
Programs to open DHT file
Remember to download programs supporting DHT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GAUSS with DHT files
If, despite the installed application, the DHT file does not start in the GAUSS application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GAUSS application as the default for handling the DHT file.
Step 3. Update GAUSS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GAUSS program with the GAUSS Data Set Header Format 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 DHT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DHT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DHT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DHT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DHT file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DHT file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DHT 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. It is best to move DHT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
