Sources of DPC Problems


Troubles Opening DPC Files

Microsoft Office Isn't There

You attempt to load your DPC file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The DPC File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Office installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your DPC with Microsoft Office, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: When another DPC application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Microsoft Office is Out-of-Date

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Office won't support your Microsoft Office Resource File file. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Office (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 Microsoft Office Resource File file was created by a newer Microsoft Office than what you have installed.


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


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening DPC files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other DPC File Opening Causes

Although you might already have Microsoft Office or another DPC-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Microsoft Office Resource File files.
