The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DPN or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DPN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.

The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DPN files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Depiction
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DPN files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DPN file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DPN 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. However, some background programs may block the DPN file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
