The DU_ file has been categorized as Compressed Files. Compressed Files consists of 236 similar files. CAB Archive Format is supported by 1 operating systems.

How to open DU_ file?
The most common problem when using CAB Archive Format is that a specific DU_ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DU_ 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 DU_ 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 7-Zip
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 7-Zip is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name 7-Zip into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DU_ files.
Programs to open DU_ file
Remember to download programs supporting DU_ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with DU_ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DU_ file to open in the 7-Zip application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 DU_ file with the 7-Zip program.
Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the 7-Zip program, it is possible that CAB Archive Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Igor Pavlov website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DU_ 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DU_ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DU_ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DU_ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DU_ file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DU_ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DU_ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DU_ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DU_ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DU_ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
