How to open DS6 file?

The most common problem when using WinDS PRO Data Format is that a specific DS6 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DS6, 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 DS6 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 2. Create association of WinDS PRO with DS6 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DS6 file still does not use the WinDS PRO program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 WinDS PRO application as the default for handling the DS6 file.

Step 3. Update WinDS PRO to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinDS PRO with WinDS PRO Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the SourceForge.net website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DS6 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DS6 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DS6 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DS6 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DS6 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DS6 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 DS6 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the DS6 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DS6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DS6 to close. However, some background programs may block the DS6 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
