How to open GUI file?
An often recurring problem with Dr.Explain Project Format is that GUI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GUI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GUI 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 Dr.Explain
The first step is to check if the computer has the Dr.Explain program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Dr.Explain in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file GUI.
Programs to open GUI file
Remember to download programs supporting GUI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dr.Explain with GUI files
If, despite the installed application, the GUI file does not start in the Dr.Explain application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GUI file with the Dr.Explain application.
Step 3. Update Dr.Explain to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Dr.Explain program, it is possible that Dr.Explain Project Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GUI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The GUI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the GUI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GUI file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GUI 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 GUI files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GUI file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GUI 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GUI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
