The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DSPROTOTYPE 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 Microsoft Visual Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Visual Studio program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Visual Studio into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DSPROTOTYPE with Microsoft Visual Studio. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DSPROTOTYPE files.
Programs to open DSPROTOTYPE file
Remember to download programs supporting DSPROTOTYPE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with DSPROTOTYPE files
If, despite the installed application, the DSPROTOTYPE file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DSPROTOTYPE file with the Microsoft Visual Studio program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Visual Studio with Microsoft Visual Studio Prototype 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSPROTOTYPE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DSPROTOTYPE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 DSPROTOTYPE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DSPROTOTYPE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DSPROTOTYPE file. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DSPROTOTYPE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DSPROTOTYPE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 DSPROTOTYPE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DSPROTOTYPE file again. 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.
