Troubleshooting Problems Opening DTCP-IP Files
Frequent DTCP-IP Opening Issues
Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker Disappeared
When you double-click your DTCP-IP file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your DTCP-IP with Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: When another DTCP-IP application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Wrong Version of Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker is Installed
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker installed that's incompatible with your Microsoft Windows Movie Maker Video type. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft Windows Movie Maker Video file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the DTCP-IP file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening DTCP-IP files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading DTCP-IP Files
You can still experience errors opening DTCP-IP files even with the latest version of Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening DTCP-IP files. Other contributing causes:

- Corrupt install of Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker or other DTCP-IP-related program
- DTCP-IP file corruption
- Past or present virus infection has affected your DTCP-IP
