Programs to open 8XG file
Remember to download programs supporting 8XG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TI Connect with 8XG files
If, despite the installed application, the 8XG file does not start in the TI Connect application, you must create a file association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 8XG 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The fault may also lie with the TI Connect program, it is possible that TI-83/84 Plus Group Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Texas Instruments Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 8XG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 8XG file. 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. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 8XG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 8XG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of 8XG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 8XG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Texas Instruments
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 8XG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 8XG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the 8XG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
