What is TCR file?
The TCR file has been categorized as Text Files. The creator of this file is Psion Teklogix. Additionally, the Text Files category contains 440 of other files. Psion Series 3 EBook Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. The main program that supports this format is Calibre. This was created by Kovid Goyal. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the TCR file.
How to open TCR file?
An often recurring problem with Psion Series 3 EBook Format is that TCR is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TCR 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 TCR 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 Calibre
The first step is to check if the computer has the Calibre program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Calibre in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TCR with Calibre. Below you will find a list of applications that support TCR files.
Programs to open TCR file
Remember to download programs supporting TCR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Calibre with TCR files
If, despite the installed application, the TCR file does not start in the Calibre 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TCR file with the Calibre application.
Step 3. Update Calibre to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Calibre program, it is possible that Psion Series 3 EBook Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Kovid Goyal page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TCR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TCR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 TCR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TCR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TCR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 option of recovering data from damaged TCR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Psion Teklogix help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TCR 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 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 TCR 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TCR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
