How to open DPQ file?
The main problem with Clarion is that the DPQ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DPQ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPQ 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 Clarion
The first step is to check if the computer has the Clarion program installed. To do this, enter the name Clarion into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file DPQ.
Programs to open DPQ file
Remember to download programs supporting DPQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Clarion with DPQ files
If, despite the installed application, the DPQ file does not start in the Clarion application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Clarion application as the default for handling the DPQ file.
Step 3. Update Clarion to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Clarion program, it is possible that Clarion requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SoftVelocity website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DPQ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The DPQ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DPQ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 DPQ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DPQ 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 DPQ file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DPQ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SoftVelocity help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DPQ 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. It is best to move DPQ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DPQ 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
