DSC Troubleshooting


Troubles Opening DSC Files

Missing Kingsoft Office

If you attempt to load your DSC file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open DSC Files". Customarily, this means that Kingsoft Office is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your DSC with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your DSC file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Obsolete Version of Kingsoft Office

It is possible that your version of Kingsoft Office isn't able to open your Kingsoft Design Science Equation File file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of Kingsoft Office from Kingsoft is recommended. Your Kingsoft Design Science Equation File file was probably created by a newer release of Kingsoft Office than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Right-clicking on your DSC, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening DSC files are due to having the incorrect version of Kingsoft Office installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading DSC Files

Although you might already have Kingsoft Office or another DSC-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Kingsoft Design Science Equation File files. If you're still experiencing problems opening DSC files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • DSC file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Deletion of the DSC file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Defective install of a DSC program, such as Kingsoft Office
  • Your DSC can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your DSC
  • Hardware associated with DSC has outdated drivers
  • Windows cannot load your Kingsoft Design Science Equation File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
