Older version of DTQ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DTQ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DTQ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.

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 you have to wait for the session to the file DTQ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DTQ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
