Troubleshoot DFD Files
Issues Opening DFD Files
ABC Programming langauge Isn't There
When trying to open your DFD file, you get the error "Can't Open DFD File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to ABC Programming langauge missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your DFD with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens DFD files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Incorrect ABC Programming langauge Version
Sometimes your installed version of ABC Programming langauge won't support your ABC Dyadic Functions Data file. Download the latest ABC Programming langauge version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your ABC Dyadic Functions Data file was created by a newer ABC Programming langauge than what you have installed.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the DFD file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Regardless, most of the DFD file opening problems relate to not having the right version of ABC Programming langauge installed.
Other DFD File Opening Causes
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of ABC Programming langauge will resolve your issue. Other DFD opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Problems unrelated to software:
- DFD file type Registry entries are wrong
- The DFD file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Partial installation of ABC Programming langauge that did not fully complete
- DFD file corruption
- Past or present virus infection has affected your DFD
- Hardware related to DFDs has device driver corruption
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open ABC Dyadic Functions Data files
