DLX File Complications


Typical DLX Opening Challenges

DIAL DIALux is Not Installed

You attempt to load your DLX file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The DLX File Extension". Customarily, this means that DIAL DIALux is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the DLX file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens DLX files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


DIAL DIALux Requires Update

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a DIALux Document file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest DIAL DIALux version from the DIAL website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your DIALux Document file was created by a newer DIAL DIALux than what you have installed.


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


Regardless, most of the DLX file opening problems relate to not having the right version of DIAL DIALux installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading DLX Files

Errors opening DIALux Document files can still occur even with the latest DIAL DIALux software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading DLX files, other external issues might be to blame. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • DLX file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the DLX file in the Windows registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the DLX format
  • The DLX itself is corrupted
  • Malware-tainted DLX file can't be opened
  • Drivers associated with DLX software need to be updated
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the DIALux Document file
