Hello,

Does anyone knows a software to open and see .dat files?

Sometimes notepad will work. Do you have any idea how the .dat file was created?

Might give resource hacker a try, opens just about anything and I use it for modification of windows. Anyways heres the link its free so you can give it a try. Im not sure if it will work for .dat files for ive never messed with it.

Can be just about anything: text, graphic, or general binary data. There is no specific structure for a .DAT file. You can use an editor like EditPad Pro to look inside a .DAT file and possible determine its contents and relationship with a program. If you are looking for information on the file INDEX.DAT please see the FAQ."
