How to open TLX file?

An often recurring problem with Standard Dictionary Format is that TLX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TLX, 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 TLX 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 WSpell

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WSpell is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WSpell into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TLX files.

Step 2. Create association of WSpell with TLX files

If, despite the installed application, the TLX file does not start in the WSpell 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WSpell application as the default for handling the TLX file.

Step 3. Update WSpell to the latest version

If, despite the association of the WSpell program with the Standard Dictionary Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TLX 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 TLX file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TLX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TLX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TLX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TLX files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TLX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 TLX 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TLX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
