DAF Troubleshooting

Common DAF Opening Problems

Digital Anchor Removed

You attempt to load your DAF file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The DAF File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to Digital Anchor missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the DAF file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens DAF files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Outdated Digital Anchor

In other instances, your Digital Anchor File file version may not be supported by your version of Digital Anchor. Visit the Telecompute Integrated Systems Inc. website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Digital Anchor. The primary cause of this problem is that your Digital Anchor File file was created by a different (newer) version of Digital Anchor than what's installed.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the DAF file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening DAF files are due to having the wrong version of Digital Anchor installed.

Other DAF File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right Digital Anchor version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening DAF files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening DAFs. These issues include:

• File references in the Windows Registry for DAF are wrong
• Corruption of the DAF file description inside the Registry
• Corrupt install of Digital Anchor or other DAF-related program
• The DAF itself is corrupted
• Past or present virus infection has affected your DAF
• DAF-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Digital Anchor File file
