Step 2. Create association of ADRIFT Runner with TAF files
If, despite the installed application, the TAF file does not start in the ADRIFT Runner application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ADRIFT Runner application as the default for handling the TAF file.
Step 3. Update ADRIFT Runner to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ADRIFT Runner program, it is possible that ADRIFT Text Adventure Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TAF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TAF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TAF file. However, remember that not every infected TAF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TAF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TAF file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TAF files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the TAF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TAF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TAF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
