Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with VTD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VTD file still does not use the Microsoft Windows program, it means no association. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VTD file with the Microsoft Windows program.

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VTD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VTD file. Sometimes virus-infected VTD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of VTD 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VTD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VTD 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. Copying the VTD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VTD 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 VTD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VTD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
