Programs to open 73I file

Remember to download programs supporting 73I files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TI Connect with 73I files

If, despite the installed application, the 73I 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 73I file with the TI Connect application.

Step 3. Update TI Connect to the latest version

If, despite the association of the TI Connect program with the TI-73 Screenshot Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Texas Instruments Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 73I file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 73I file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 73I file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected 73I file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 73I 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 73I files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Texas Instruments help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 73I files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move 73I to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 73I to close. However, some background programs may block the 73I file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
