How to open 8XS file?
The main problem with TI-83/84 Plus String Format is that the 8XS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file 8XS 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 8XS 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
In this case, you should first verify that the TI Connect application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TI Connect 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support 8XS files.
Programs to open 8XS file
Remember to download programs supporting 8XS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TI Connect with 8XS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 8XS file still does not use the TI Connect program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 8XS 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The fault may also lie with the TI Connect program, it is possible that TI-83/84 Plus String Format requires a newer version of the program.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 8XS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the 8XS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 8XS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected 8XS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 8XS file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 8XS 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 8XS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move 8XS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the 8XS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
