How to open TAO file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TAO 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 IsoBuster

Programs to open TAO file
Remember to download programs supporting TAO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IsoBuster with TAO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TAO file to open in the IsoBuster 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TAO file with the IsoBuster application.
Step 3. Update IsoBuster to the latest version
If, however, after binding IsoBuster with Track At Once CD/DVD Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Smart Projects website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TAO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TAO file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TAO file. Sometimes virus-infected TAO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TAO 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TAO files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TAO 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TAO file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TAO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TAO to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
