The file in the DLPF format belongs to the Misc Files category. The creator of this file is Microcosm Ltd.. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

The DDLook application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Microcosm Ltd..
How to open DLPF file?
The most common problem when using DinkeyLook Diagnostic Information is that a specific DLPF is not associated with the program. This causes the file DLPF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DLPF 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 DDLook
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DDLook is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DDLook into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DLPF with DDLook. Below is a list of programs that support the file DLPF.
Programs to open DLPF file
Remember to download programs supporting DLPF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DDLook with DLPF files
If, despite the installed application, the DLPF file does not start in the DDLook application, you must create a file 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. 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 DLPF file with the DDLook application.
Step 3. Update DDLook to the latest version
If, however, after binding DDLook with DinkeyLook Diagnostic Information there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microcosm Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLPF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DLPF file. 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DLPF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DLPF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DLPF files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DLPF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microcosm Ltd., 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 DLPF 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DLPF file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. 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.
