DHY Troubleshooting


Troubles Opening DHY Files

Adobe Bridge CC is Not Installed

You attempt to load your DHY file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The DHY File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe Bridge CC installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the DHY file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: Another DHY-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Incorrect Adobe Bridge CC Version

It is possible that your version of Adobe Bridge CC isn't able to open your Adobe Bridge Information File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Bridge CC installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your Adobe Bridge Information File file was probably created by a newer release of Adobe Bridge CC than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Investigate your DHY file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening DHY files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe Bridge CC installed.


Other DHY File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Adobe Bridge CC will resolve your issue. Other DHY opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:

  • Invalid DHY file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry DHY description
  • Partial installation of Adobe Bridge CC that did not fully complete
  • File corruption affecting your DHY file
  • Your DHY has adversely impacted by malware
  • DHY-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows cannot load your Adobe Bridge Information File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
