Step 2. Create association of Samsung Kies with DUP1 files
If, despite the installed application, the DUP1 file does not start in the Samsung Kies application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 DUP1 file with the Samsung Kies application.
Step 3. Update Samsung Kies to the latest version
If, however, after binding Samsung Kies with Samsung Kies Duplicate Media there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Samsung Group website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DUP1 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the DUP1 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DUP1 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DUP1 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 DUP1 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DUP1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Samsung Group
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DUP1 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DUP1 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DUP1 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
