How to open TLP file?
The main problem with Microsoft TimeLine Project is that the TLP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TLP, 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 TLP 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 Tulip
In this case, you should first verify that the Tulip application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Tulip in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support TLP files.
Programs to open TLP file
Remember to download programs supporting TLP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Tulip with TLP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TLP file to open in the Tulip application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TLP file with the Tulip application.
Step 3. Update Tulip to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Tulip program, it is possible that Microsoft TimeLine Project requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TLP 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TLP 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 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 TLP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TLP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TLP 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TLP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TLP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TLP file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TLP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TLP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
