Troubleshooting Problems Opening DW Files

Issues Opening DW Files

Missing DeliPlayer

When you double-click your DW file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because DeliPlayer isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your DW file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

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

Incorrect DeliPlayer Version

It is possible that your version of DeliPlayer isn't able to open your David Whittaker Audio File file due to incompatibility. If you do not have the proper version DeliPlayer (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Most of the time your David Whittaker Audio File file was created by a newer DeliPlayer than what you have installed.

Tip: If you right-click on your DW file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Summary: Not having the right DeliPlayer version on your computer can cause problems opening DW files.
