The POOL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the POOL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the POOL file on each system platform.
What is POOL file?
The file with the extension POOL is the Document Files file type. The author of this format is LaTeX Project Development Team. Additionally, the Document Files category contains 574 of other files. TeX Messages appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use LaTeX to handle this file. This is a program created by LaTeX Project Development Team.
How to open POOL file?
The most common problem when using TeX Messages is that a specific POOL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that POOL 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 POOL 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 LaTeX
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LaTeX is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name LaTeX into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open POOL files.
Programs to open POOL file
Remember to download programs supporting POOL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LaTeX with POOL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the POOL file still does not use the LaTeX 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. 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 POOL file with the LaTeX application.
Step 3. Update LaTeX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the LaTeX program with the TeX Messages file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the LaTeX Project Development Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the POOL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The POOL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the POOL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file POOL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover POOL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the POOL 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged POOL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LaTeX Project Development Team
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file POOL 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. Copying the POOL file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
