How to open TK1 file?
An often recurring problem with Wintec Tools GPS Log is that TK1 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TK1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TK1 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 Wintec Tools
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Wintec Tools is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Wintec Tools in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TK1 files.
Programs to open TK1 file
Remember to download programs supporting TK1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wintec Tools with TK1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TK1 file still does not use the Wintec Tools program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TK1 file with the Wintec Tools application.
Step 3. Update Wintec Tools to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Wintec Tools program, it is possible that Wintec Tools GPS Log requires a newer version of the program.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 SteffenSiebert page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TK1 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TK1 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TK1 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TK1 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TK1 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TK1 file corruption. 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 TK1 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. Copying the TK1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TK1 to close. However, some background programs may block the TK1 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
