How to open TSZ file?

An often recurring problem with Trillian Skin Format is that TSZ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TSZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TSZ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Trillian

In this case, you should first verify that the Trillian application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Trillian into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TSZ files.

Programs to open TSZ file

Remember to download programs supporting TSZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Trillian with TSZ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TSZ file to open in the Trillian application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TSZ file with the Trillian application.

Step 3. Update Trillian to the latest version

If, however, after binding Trillian with Trillian Skin Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cerulean Studios page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TSZ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TSZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TSZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TSZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TSZ file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TSZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Cerulean Studios, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TSZ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TSZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TSZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TSZ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
