How to open TOF file?
The main problem with Mr. Photo Temporary Thumbnail is that the TOF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TOF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TOF 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 Presto! Mr. Photo
The first step is to check if the computer has the Presto! Mr. Photo program installed. This can be achieved by typing Presto! Mr. Photo into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TOF files.
Programs to open TOF file
Remember to download programs supporting TOF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Presto! Mr. Photo with TOF files
If, despite the installed application, the TOF file does not start in the Presto! Mr. Photo application, you must create a file association. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TOF file with the Presto! Mr. Photo program.
Step 3. Update Presto! Mr. Photo to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Presto! Mr. Photo program with the Mr. Photo Temporary Thumbnail file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the NewSoft Technology Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TOF 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 suggests truncating the TOF file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TOF file. However, remember that not every infected TOF 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 TOF file. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TOF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact NewSoft Technology Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TOF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TOF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TOF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TOF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
