Programs to open M2DCT file

Remember to download programs supporting M2DCT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Windows Mobile with M2DCT files

If, despite the installed application, the M2DCT file does not start in the Windows Mobile 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Windows Mobile application as the default for handling the M2DCT file.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the M2DCT 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 M2DCT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to M2DCT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our M2DCT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover M2DCT 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 M2DCT 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular M2DCT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted M2DCT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the M2DCT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the M2DCT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file M2DCT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the M2DCT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
