Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TA1 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TA1 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TA1 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TA1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TA1 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TA1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact 2nd Story Software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TA1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TA1 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 TA1 to close. However, some background programs may block the TA1 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
