What is DON file?
The file with the extension DON is the Misc Files file type. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. OpenOffice.org Log appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Apache OpenOffice to handle this file. This is a program created by Apache Software Foundation.
How to open DON file?
The main problem with OpenOffice.org Log is that the DON file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DON 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 DON 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 Apache OpenOffice
In this case, you should first verify that the Apache OpenOffice application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Apache OpenOffice 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 DON with Apache OpenOffice. Below is a list of programs that support the file DON.
Programs to open DON file
Remember to download programs supporting DON files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apache OpenOffice with DON files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DON file to open in the Apache OpenOffice application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 DON file with the Apache OpenOffice program.
Step 3. Update Apache OpenOffice to the latest version
If, however, after binding Apache OpenOffice with OpenOffice.org Log there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apache Software Foundation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DON file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DON file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DON file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DON files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DON 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DON file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DON 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. If possible, you can try to move the DON 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DON to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
