How to open DSR file?
An often recurring problem with Micrografx Designer Graphic is that DSR is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DSR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DSR 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 iGrafx Designer
In this case, you should first verify that the iGrafx Designer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing iGrafx Designer into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DSR with iGrafx Designer. Below you will find a list of applications that support DSR files.
Programs to open DSR file
Remember to download programs supporting DSR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iGrafx Designer with DSR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DSR file to open in the iGrafx Designer application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the iGrafx Designer application as the default for handling the DSR file.
Step 3. Update iGrafx Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the iGrafx Designer program with the Micrografx Designer Graphic file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Corel Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DSR 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DSR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DSR 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 DSR 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DSR files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DSR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DSR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DSR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
