How to open DT2 file?
The most common problem when using Windows Live Messenger Emoticon Image Format is that a specific DT2 is not associated with the program. This causes the file DT2 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 DT2 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 Windows Live Messenger
The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Live Messenger program installed. To do this, enter the name Windows Live Messenger into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DT2 files.
Programs to open DT2 file
Remember to download programs supporting DT2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Live Messenger with DT2 files
If, despite the installed application, the DT2 file does not start in the Windows Live Messenger application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 DT2 file with the Windows Live Messenger program.
Step 3. Update Windows Live Messenger to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Windows Live Messenger program with the Windows Live Messenger Emoticon Image 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DT2 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DT2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DT2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DT2 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DT2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DT2 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DT2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DT2 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DT2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DT2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
