Remember to download programs supporting GDT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Guitar & Drum Trainer with GDT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GDT file to open in the Guitar & Drum Trainer 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GDT 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 GDT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GDT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GDT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GDT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GDT 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GDT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Renegade Minds
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GDT 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the GDT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GDT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GDT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GDT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
