The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QDK 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 QEMM

Programs to open QDK file
Remember to download programs supporting QDK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QEMM with QDK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the QDK file to open in the QEMM application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the QDK file with the QEMM application.
Step 3. Update QEMM to the latest version
If, however, after binding QEMM with QEMM Startups Backup there were still problems, you should update the program 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 Symantec Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QDK 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 QDK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QDK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected QDK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of QDK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair QDK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Symantec Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QDK 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. Copying the QDK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the QDK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the QDK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QDK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
