How to open DSY file?
The main problem with Directory Synchronizer Project Format is that the DSY file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DSY 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 DSY 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 AJC Directory Synchronizer
The first step is to check if the computer has the AJC Directory Synchronizer program installed. This can be achieved by typing AJC Directory Synchronizer into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support DSY files.
Programs to open DSY file
Remember to download programs supporting DSY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AJC Directory Synchronizer with DSY files
If, despite the installed application, the DSY file does not start in the AJC Directory Synchronizer 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DSY file with the AJC Directory Synchronizer program.
Step 3. Update AJC Directory Synchronizer to the latest version
If, however, after binding AJC Directory Synchronizer with Directory Synchronizer Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the AJC Systems Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSY 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 DSY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DSY file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DSY file. However, remember that not every infected DSY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DSY files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DSY file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact AJC
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DSY 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DSY file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DSY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DSY file again. However, some background programs may block the DSY file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
