What is TKM file?
The TKM file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Andrew Wilson. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. TkMOO-light is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Linux systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is tkMOO-light. This was created by Andrew Wilson.
How to open TKM file?
An often recurring problem with TkMOO-light is that TKM is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TKM 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 TKM 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 tkMOO-light
The first step is to check if the computer has the tkMOO-light program installed. This can be achieved by typing tkMOO-light 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 TKM files.
Programs to open TKM file
Remember to download programs supporting TKM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of tkMOO-light with TKM files
If, despite the installed application, the TKM file does not start in the tkMOO-light 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TKM file with the tkMOO-light program.
Step 3. Update tkMOO-light to the latest version
If, despite the association of the tkMOO-light program with the TkMOO-light file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Andrew Wilson website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TKM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The TKM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TKM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TKM file. However, remember that not every infected TKM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TKM 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TKM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Andrew Wilson help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TKM 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TKM file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TKM file again. However, some background programs may block the TKM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
