Remember to download programs supporting DSDIC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HelpSmith with DSDIC files
If, despite the installed application, the DSDIC file does not start in the HelpSmith application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DSDIC file with the HelpSmith application.

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DSDIC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DSDIC file. Sometimes virus-infected DSDIC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DSDIC files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 option of recovering data from damaged DSDIC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DSDIC 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DSDIC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DSDIC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DSDIC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
