How to open TMBAK file?
The most common problem when using TextMaker Data Format is that a specific TMBAK is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TMBAK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TMBAK 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 TextMaker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TextMaker is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TextMaker into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TMBAK with TextMaker. Below is a list of programs that support the file TMBAK.
Programs to open TMBAK file
Remember to download programs supporting TMBAK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TextMaker with TMBAK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TMBAK file to open in the TextMaker 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TMBAK file with the TextMaker program.
Step 3. Update TextMaker to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TextMaker program, it is possible that TextMaker Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SoftMaker Software GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TMBAK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TMBAK 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TMBAK file. However, remember that not every infected TMBAK 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 TMBAK 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 ability to automatically repair TMBAK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TMBAK 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. 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 TMBAK file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TMBAK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TMBAK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TMBAK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
