How to open TAM file?
An often recurring problem with Tame Program Settings is that TAM is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TAM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TAM 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 Tame
In this case, you should first verify that the Tame application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Tame into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file TAM.
Programs to open TAM file
Remember to download programs supporting TAM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Tame with TAM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TAM file to open in the Tame application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Tame application as the default for handling the TAM file.
Step 3. Update Tame to the latest version
If, however, after binding Tame with Tame Program Settings there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the TameDOS website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TAM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The TAM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TAM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TAM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TAM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TAM file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TAM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use TameDOS help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TAM 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the TAM 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TAM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TAM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
