Step 2. Create association of DivX with DMSK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DMSK file still does not use the DivX 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DMSK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DMSK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DMSK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DMSK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DMSK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DMSK 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DMSK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use DivX help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DMSK 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DMSK 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DMSK to close. However, some background programs may block the DMSK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
