Troubleshooting Problems Opening DCTMP Files
Troubles Opening DCTMP Files
DC++ Not Present
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open DCTMP Files" when trying to open your DCTMP. Customarily, this means that DC++ is not installed on %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your DCTMP, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Incorrect DC++ Version
It is possible that your version of DC++ isn't able to open your DC++ Partially Downloaded File file due to incompatibility. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of DC++. This issue mainly occurs when your DC++ Partially Downloaded File file was created by a newer version of DC++ than you have on your PC.
Tip: If you right-click on your DCTMP file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of DCTMP file opening issues are due to not having the correct DC++ version installed.
Associated Difficulties Loading DCTMP Files
You can still experience errors opening DCTMP files even with the latest version of DC++ installed on your PC. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening DCTMPs. Problems unrelated to software:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for DCTMP
- Deletion of the DCTMP file description from the Registry by mistake
- Corrupt install of DC++ or other DCTMP-related program
- Your DCTMP file is corrupted (issues with your DC++ Partially Downloaded File file itself)
- Past or present virus infection has affected your DCTMP
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your DCTMP file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the DC++ Partially Downloaded File file
