How to open TLC file?
The main problem with The Logo Creator Format is that the TLC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TLC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TLC 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 The Logo Creator
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that The Logo Creator is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name The Logo Creator in it. 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 TLC files.
Programs to open TLC file
Remember to download programs supporting TLC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Logo Creator with TLC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TLC file still does not use the The Logo Creator program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TLC file with the The Logo Creator application.
Step 3. Update The Logo Creator to the latest version
If, despite the association of the The Logo Creator program with the The Logo Creator Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The Laughingbird Network website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TLC 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 TLC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TLC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TLC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TLC file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TLC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Laughingbird Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TLC 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TLC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TLC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TLC file again. 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.
