How to open DTC file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Windows Application Log is that a specific DTC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DTC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DTC 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 Windows Millennium Edition
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition into the 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 DTC files.
Programs to open DTC file
Remember to download programs supporting DTC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition with DTC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DTC file still does not use the Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition program, it means no 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 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 DTC file with the Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition program with the Microsoft Windows Application Log 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 DTC 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 DTC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DTC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DTC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DTC 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 DTC files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DTC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DTC 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DTC file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DTC file again. However, some background programs may block the DTC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
