How to open DPRECZ file?

The main problem with Drawpile Compressed Record Format is that the DPRECZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DPRECZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPRECZ 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 Drawpile

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Drawpile is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Drawpile 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 DPRECZ.

Programs to open DPRECZ file

Remember to download programs supporting DPRECZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Drawpile with DPRECZ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DPRECZ file to open in the Drawpile 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Drawpile application as the default for handling the DPRECZ file.

Step 3. Update Drawpile to the latest version

If, however, after binding Drawpile with Drawpile Compressed Record Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Calle Laakkonen website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DPRECZ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The DPRECZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DPRECZ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DPRECZ file. Sometimes virus-infected DPRECZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DPRECZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DPRECZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DPRECZ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move DPRECZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. 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.
