How to open DLD file?
The main problem with EdLog Compiled Program is that the DLD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DLD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DLD 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 EdLog
In this case, you should first verify that the EdLog application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name EdLog in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DLD with EdLog. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DLD files.
Programs to open DLD file
Remember to download programs supporting DLD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EdLog with DLD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DLD file still does not use the EdLog program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DLD file with the EdLog application.
Step 3. Update EdLog to the latest version
If, despite the association of the EdLog program with the EdLog Compiled Program 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 DLD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DLD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DLD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DLD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DLD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DLD 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DLD file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DLD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DLD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DLD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
