How to open DTG file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DTG 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 Desktop Guitar

Programs to open DTG file
Remember to download programs supporting DTG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Desktop Guitar with DTG files
If, despite the installed application, the DTG file does not start in the Desktop Guitar 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Desktop Guitar application as the default for handling the DTG file.
Step 3. Update Desktop Guitar to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Desktop Guitar program with the Desktop Guitar Score 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 Desktop Music, LLC. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DTG 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:
The DTG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DTG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DTG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DTG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DTG 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DTG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Desktop Music, LLC. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DTG 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. If possible, you can try to move the DTG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DTG 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 DTG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
