How to open DSHB file?
The main problem with Garmin Dashboard Format is that the DSHB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DSHB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DSHB 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 Garmin Express
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Garmin Express is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Garmin Express in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DSHB with Garmin Express. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DSHB files.
Programs to open DSHB file
Remember to download programs supporting DSHB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Garmin Express with DSHB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DSHB file still does not use the Garmin Express program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Garmin Express application as the default for handling the DSHB file.
Step 3. Update Garmin Express to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Garmin Express program with the Garmin Dashboard Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Garmin Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSHB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DSHB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DSHB file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DSHB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DSHB 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 ability to automatically repair DSHB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DSHB 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DSHB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
