How to open THX file?
The most common problem when using Amiga THX Tracker Music Format is that a specific THX is not associated with the program. This causes the file THX 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 THX 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 Amiga Forever
In this case, you should first verify that the Amiga Forever application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Amiga Forever into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file THX with Amiga Forever. Below you will find a list of applications that support THX files.
Programs to open THX file
Remember to download programs supporting THX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Amiga Forever with THX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the THX file still does not use the Amiga Forever program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Amiga Forever application as the default for handling the THX file.
Step 3. Update Amiga Forever to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Amiga Forever program with the Amiga THX Tracker Music Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Cloanto IT srl website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the THX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the THX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the THX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover THX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the THX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged THX 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 THX 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. If possible, you can try to move the THX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the THX 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. However, some background programs may block the THX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
