Step 2. Create association of DesktopX with DXPACK files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DXPACK file to open in the DesktopX application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 DXPACK file with the DesktopX program.

Step 3. Update DesktopX to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DXPACK file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the DXPACK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DXPACK file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DXPACK 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 DXPACK files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DXPACK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Stardock Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DXPACK except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move DXPACK to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DXPACK to close. However, some background programs may block the DXPACK file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
