The TLO file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TLO files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TLO file on each system platform.
What is TLO file?
The file in the TLO format belongs to the Settings Files category. The creator of this file is IBM. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. SPSS TableLooks Format is supported by 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The SPSS application is recommended to open the file. It was released by IBM. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.
How to open TLO file?
The main problem with SPSS TableLooks Format is that the TLO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TLO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TLO 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 SPSS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SPSS is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SPSS into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TLO with SPSS. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TLO files.
Programs to open TLO file
Remember to download programs supporting TLO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SPSS with TLO files
If, despite the installed application, the TLO file does not start in the SPSS application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 SPSS application as the default for handling the TLO file.
Step 3. Update SPSS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SPSS program, it is possible that SPSS TableLooks Format 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 IBM page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TLO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TLO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 TLO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TLO 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 TLO 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TLO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IBM, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TLO files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TLO file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TLO file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
