Troubleshoot DA2 Files

Frequent DA2 Opening Issues

Windows Media Center Removed

Double-clicking your DA2 file prompts the message "- Can't Open DA2 File". Generally, this is experienced in - because Windows Media Center isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your DA2 with Windows Media Center, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you don't have Windows Media Center installed, and you know of another program to open your DA2 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Incorrect Windows Media Center Version

It is possible that your version of Windows Media Center isn't able to open your Windows Dancer File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Windows Media Center version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed.

Tip: If you right-click on your DA2 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
