How to open 73B file?
An often recurring problem with TI-73 Backup Format is that 73B is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file 73B to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 73B 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 TI Connect
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TI Connect is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TI Connect into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file 73B with TI Connect. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open 73B files.
Programs to open 73B file
Remember to download programs supporting 73B files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TI Connect with 73B files
If, despite the installed application, the 73B file does not start in the TI Connect application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TI Connect application as the default for handling the 73B file.
Step 3. Update TI Connect to the latest version
If, however, after binding TI Connect with TI-73 Backup 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 Texas Instruments Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 73B file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the 73B file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 73B file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected 73B file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of 73B file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 73B files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Texas Instruments, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file 73B 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move 73B to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 73B file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 73B file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
