How to open TK3 file?

The main problem with TK3 Multimedia EBook is that the TK3 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TK3, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TK3 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 TK3 Reader

In this case, you should first verify that the TK3 Reader application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TK3 Reader into the operating system search engine. 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 TK3 files.

Programs to open TK3 file

Remember to download programs supporting TK3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TK3 Reader with TK3 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TK3 file still does not use the TK3 Reader 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 TK3 Reader application as the default for handling the TK3 file.

Step 3. Update TK3 Reader to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TK3 Reader program, it is possible that TK3 Multimedia EBook requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Night Kitchen website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TK3 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TK3 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TK3 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TK3 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 TK3 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TK3 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Night Kitchen
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TK3 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TK3 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TK3 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TK3 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
