How to open TDS file?
The main problem with Borland Turbo Debugger Symbol Table Format is that the TDS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TDS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TDS 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 Turbo Debugger
The first step is to check if the computer has the Turbo Debugger program installed. This can be achieved by typing Turbo Debugger into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support TDS files.
Programs to open TDS file
Remember to download programs supporting TDS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Turbo Debugger with TDS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TDS file still does not use the Turbo Debugger program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 TDS file with the Turbo Debugger application.
Step 3. Update Turbo Debugger to the latest version
If, however, after binding Turbo Debugger with Borland Turbo Debugger Symbol Table Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Borland Software Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TDS 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. This suggests truncating the TDS file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TDS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TDS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TDS files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TDS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Borland Software Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TDS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TDS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TDS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
