How to open GTA file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Groove Tool Archive is that GTA is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GTA 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 GTA 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 SharePoint Workspace
In this case, you should first verify that the SharePoint Workspace application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SharePoint Workspace 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 GTA files.
Programs to open GTA file
Remember to download programs supporting GTA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SharePoint Workspace with GTA files
If, despite the installed application, the GTA file does not start in the SharePoint Workspace 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GTA file with the SharePoint Workspace program.
Step 3. Update SharePoint Workspace to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SharePoint Workspace program, it is possible that Microsoft Groove Tool Archive requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GTA 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GTA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GTA file. Sometimes virus-infected GTA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GTA files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GTA file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GTA 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GTA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 GTA 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.
