    opening .dds files with gimp

    Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?

  4. i cant open my files, encryption file system , lock icon appearing on files

    Files with lock on the icon. I possibly encrypted on a laptop I no longer possess.

    Hello Z,

    A lock icon
    i cant open my files, encryption file system , lock icon appearing on files 061d173e-c6fb-452e-94b5-160c1c5fd7ff?upload=true.png

    beside the file icon can also mean that it is encrypted. I'd like to know more about the challenge you're experiencing with opening your personal files. Kindly answer the following questions:

    • Can you tell me the exact error message you're getting when opening the files?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    File encryption helps protect your personal data by encrypting it. Only the user with the right encryption key such as a password can decrypt it. If the files are originally encrypted before being transferred to your external hard disk, we'll need to import
    the Encrypting File System (EFS) certificate or key from your Dell computer to your Windows 10 PC. Apparently, we won't be able to access the files without the right certificate or key.

    To notify us and have us get back to you, simply reply to this post.
