How to open DP file?
The most common problem when using Text is that a specific DP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DP, 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 DP 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 NotePad++ text editor
The first step is to check if the computer has the NotePad++ text editor program installed. To do this, enter the name NotePad++ text editor into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support DP files.
Programs to open DP file
Remember to download programs supporting DP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with DP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DP file still does not use the NotePad++ text editor program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NotePad++ text editor application as the default for handling the DP file.
Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version
If, however, after binding NotePad++ text editor with Text 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 Notepad++ Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DP 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 DP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
