Can't open a DNA file?

When you click a file to open it, operating system examines the filename extension. If operating system recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When operating system does not recognize a filename extension, you receive the following message:

”Can't open this file: example.DNA”。

To open this file, you install one of the applications from the list of software programs that you found here, you should be able to open, edit or convert the file with the DNA extension without any issue.


Where I can download the application that support DNA file?

Can I change the extension of DNA files?

Changing the filename extension of a file is not a good idea. When you change a file's extension, you change the way programs on your computer read/open the file. The problem is, changing the file extension does not change the file format. Select a software program from our list and install it on your computer. If the file has not opened correctly, you have to look for a different software program from our list. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.


What else may cause problems width open a DNA file?

The reasons for the lack of the ability to open a DNA file on your computer may be at least several. The easiest thing is to find a suitable application installed on your computer, which will open a DNA file. If there is still something wrong, you might want to check:

  • Whether the DNA file is damaged.
  • Whether the DNA file is incorrectly linked in the registry entries.
  • Whether the DNA file extension has been accidentally removed from the Windows registry.
  • Whether the installation of an application that supports the DNA file format is incompletely.
  • Whether the DNA file is infected.
  • Whether the drivers of the equipment used for opening a DNA file are up to date.
  • Whether your computer has enough hardware resources to open a DNA file.

If the DNA file still not working with your software after eliminating the above shortcomings? That means that the problem is more complex and requires the help of a specialist.
