Step 2. Create association of DFSee with PD2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PD2 file still does not use the DFSee program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 DFSee application as the default for handling the PD2 file.
Step 3. Update DFSee to the latest version

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Jan van Wijk page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PD2 file

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PD2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 PD2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PD2 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 PD2 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.
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 PD2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Jan van Wijk help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PD2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PD2 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PD2 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 PD2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PD2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
