What is DNO file?

The file with the extension DNO is the Settings Files file type. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. DriveExecutive Configuration Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The DriveTools SP application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Rockwell Automation, Inc..

How to open DNO file?

The main problem with DriveExecutive Configuration Format is that the DNO file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DNO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DNO 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 DriveTools SP

In this case, you should first verify that the DriveTools SP application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DriveTools SP 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 DNO with DriveTools SP. Below is a list of programs that support the file DNO.

Programs to open DNO file

Remember to download programs supporting DNO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of DriveTools SP with DNO files

If, despite the installed application, the DNO file does not start in the DriveTools SP application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DNO file with the DriveTools SP program.

Step 3. Update DriveTools SP to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the DriveTools SP program, it is possible that DriveExecutive Configuration Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Rockwell Automation, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DNO file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DNO file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DNO file. However, remember that not every infected DNO 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 DNO 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DNO file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DNO 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DNO 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DNO to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DNO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
