DOV file extension
The DOV file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DOV files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DOV file on each system platform.
What is DOV file?

How to open DOV file?
The main problem with Temp Format is that the DOV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DOV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DOV 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 Original program
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Original program is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Original program in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DOV.
Programs to open DOV file
Remember to download programs supporting DOV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Original program with DOV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DOV file to open in the Original program application, but you can set it manually. 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DOV file with the Original program application.
Step 3. Update Original program to the latest version
If, however, after binding Original program with Temp Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DOV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The DOV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DOV file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DOV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DOV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DOV 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 DOV files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DOV 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 DOV file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DOV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DOV file again. However, some background programs may block the DOV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
