How to open TACONT file?

The most common problem when using ThinBasic Data Format is that a specific TACONT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TACONT 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 TACONT 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 thinBasic

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that thinBasic is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name thinBasic in it. 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 TACONT files.

Programs to open TACONT file

Remember to download programs supporting TACONT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of thinBasic with TACONT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TACONT file still does not use the thinBasic program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 TACONT file with the thinBasic program.

Step 3. Update thinBasic to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the thinBasic program, it is possible that ThinBasic Data Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TACONT 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 TACONT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 TACONT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TACONT 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 TACONT file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TACONT file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TACONT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TACONT 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TACONT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TACONT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
