How to open 73U file?

An often recurring problem with TI-73 Explorer Operating System Format is that 73U is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that 73U 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 73U 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. To do this, enter the name TI Connect into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support 73U files.

Programs to open 73U file

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

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

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 73U file still does not use the TI Connect program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 73U file with the TI Connect program.

Step 3. Update TI Connect to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TI Connect program, it is possible that TI-73 Explorer Operating System Format requires a newer version of the program. 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 73U file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The 73U file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 73U file. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 73U or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected 73U files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 73U file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 73U file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Texas Instruments
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file 73U 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the 73U file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 73U to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
