Understanding DNC Issues


Typical DNC Opening Challenges

Windows Media Center is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your DNC file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open DNC Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Windows Media Center for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your DNC file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: Another DNC-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Obsolete Version of Windows Media Center

Sometimes your installed version of Windows Media Center won't support your Windows Dancer File file. You will need to download a newer version of Windows Media Center if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Windows Dancer File file was created by a newer Windows Media Center than what you have installed.


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


Summary: Not having the right Windows Media Center version on your computer can cause problems opening DNC files.


Other DNC File Issues

Assuming you have the right Windows Media Center version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening DNC files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening DNCs. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • DNC file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Deletion of the DNC file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Defective install of a DNC program, such as Windows Media Center
  • Your DNC can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Malware-tainted DNC file can't be opened
  • DNC-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Windows Dancer File file
