How to open DSKIN file?
The most common problem when using DockX Skin is that a specific DSKIN is not associated with the program. This causes the file DSKIN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DSKIN 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 DockX
In this case, you should first verify that the DockX application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DockX in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DSKIN with DockX. Below you will find a list of applications that support DSKIN files.
Programs to open DSKIN file
Remember to download programs supporting DSKIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DockX with DSKIN files
If, despite the installed application, the DSKIN file does not start in the DockX 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 select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DSKIN file with the DockX application.
Step 3. Update DockX to the latest version
If, however, after binding DockX with DockX Skin there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Mr. Gecko website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSKIN file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DSKIN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DSKIN file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DSKIN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DSKIN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DSKIN files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Mr. Gecko, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DSKIN 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 DSKIN to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DSKIN 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. 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.
