How to open TLZ file?
An often recurring problem with Tar LZMA Compressed Format is that TLZ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TLZ, 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 TLZ 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 7zX
In this case, you should first verify that the 7zX application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing 7zX into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file TLZ.
Programs to open TLZ file
Remember to download programs supporting TLZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 7zX with TLZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TLZ file to open in the 7zX application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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 TLZ file with the 7zX program.
Step 3. Update 7zX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the 7zX program, it is possible that Tar LZMA Compressed Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TLZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TLZ 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TLZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TLZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TLZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TLZ file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TLZ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the TLZ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TLZ file again. However, some background programs may block the TLZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
