Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Outlook with DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION file to open in the Microsoft Outlook application, but you can set it manually. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION file. Sometimes virus-infected DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION files changes over time. 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.

The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION file to another location.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION to close. 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.
