What is a D64 file?
D64 is an extension characteristic for files storing the contents of the cartridge used in Commodore 64 computers. Such a disk image can be handled by emulators of this computer. This enables applications to be run, for example, on modern computers.
One of the emulators that are widespread under the shareware licensing model is CCS64.

How to open D64 files
If you cannot open the D64 file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports D64 among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the D64 file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the D64 format files
The inability to open and operate the D64 file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Commodore Emulator Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a D64 file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the D64 file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the D64 from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the D64 format
- The D64 file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the D64 file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a D64 file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the D64 file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the D64 file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the D64 file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.D64) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected D64 file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the D64 file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. D64) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
