The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DIT 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 DIT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DIT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DIT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DIT files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DIT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DIT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 DIT to close. However, some background programs may block the DIT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
