What is DOH file?

The file with the extension DOH is the System Files file type. The author of this format is Berkeley Softworks. System Files consists of 323 similar files.

This was created by Berkeley Softworks.

How to open DOH file?

The most common problem when using Geoworks GEOS Dependency Information is that a specific DOH is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DOH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DOH 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 GEOS

In this case, you should first verify that the GEOS application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GEOS into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DOH files.

Programs to open DOH file

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

Step 2. Create association of GEOS with DOH files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DOH file still does not use the GEOS program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 DOH file with the GEOS application.

Step 3. Update GEOS to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the GEOS program, it is possible that Geoworks GEOS Dependency Information requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Berkeley Softworks website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The DOH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DOH file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DOH file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DOH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DOH file. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DOH files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Berkeley Softworks help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DOH 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DOH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DOH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
