How to open DLP file?
An often recurring problem with DirectMusic Producer DLS is that DLP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DLP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DLP 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 DirectMusic Producer
In this case, you should first verify that the DirectMusic Producer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DirectMusic Producer into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DLP with DirectMusic Producer. Below you will find a list of applications that support DLP files.
Programs to open DLP file
Remember to download programs supporting DLP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DirectMusic Producer with DLP files
If, despite the installed application, the DLP file does not start in the DirectMusic Producer 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 DLP file with the DirectMusic Producer application.
Step 3. Update DirectMusic Producer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DirectMusic Producer program, it is possible that DirectMusic Producer DLS requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DLP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DLP 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DLP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DLP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DLP 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DLP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DLP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DLP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DLP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DLP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
