How to open TNSP file?

The main problem with TI-Nspire PublishView Document is that the TNSP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TNSP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TNSP 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 TI-Nspire Software

In this case, you should first verify that the TI-Nspire Software application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TI-Nspire Software 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 you will find a list of applications that support TNSP files.

Step 2. Create association of TI-Nspire Software with TNSP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TNSP file to open in the TI-Nspire Software application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TI-Nspire Software application as the default for handling the TNSP file.

Step 3. Update TI-Nspire Software to the latest version

If, however, after binding TI-Nspire Software with TI-Nspire PublishView Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TNSP 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TNSP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TNSP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TNSP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TNSP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TNSP file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TNSP 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TNSP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TNSP file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 TNSP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
