How to open DSZ file?

The main problem with Orchida (OES) Embroidery Format is that the DSZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DSZ 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 DSZ 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 Orchida Embroidery System

In this case, you should first verify that the Orchida Embroidery System application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Orchida Embroidery System 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 DSZ with Orchida Embroidery System. Below you will find a list of applications that support DSZ files.

Step 2. Create association of Orchida Embroidery System with DSZ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DSZ file still does not use the Orchida Embroidery System 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DSZ file with the Orchida Embroidery System application.

Step 3. Update Orchida Embroidery System to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Orchida Embroidery System program with the Orchida (OES) Embroidery Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Orchida Soft website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSZ file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DSZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DSZ file. Sometimes virus-infected DSZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DSZ 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DSZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Orchida Soft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DSZ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DSZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DSZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DSZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
