File extension .DL_

File description

.DL_ is a type of .DLL file format. This file format is compressed version of Microsoft Dynamic Library file.

The compression is done by a specific utility which supports compression of .DLL files. Generally .DL_ file type is used for backup purposes. As a specific DLL file is compressed and saved, it makes it easier for the user to download or share it as it takes much lesser space than original file. In order to access the data stored in .DL_ file the user has to first decompress the file and convert it into DLL with the help of utility.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .DL_ file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .DL_ extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .DL_ file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .DL_ file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .DL_ file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .DL_ file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .DL_ file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .DL_ file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .DL_ file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .DL_ file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
