What is TOOLS file?
The file with the extension TOOLS is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is Delorie Software. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. DJGPP Tools is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use djgpp to handle this file. This is a program created by Delorie Software.
How to open TOOLS file?
The most common problem when using DJGPP Tools is that a specific TOOLS is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open TOOLS, 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 TOOLS 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 djgpp
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that djgpp is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name djgpp in it. 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 TOOLS files.
Programs to open TOOLS file
Remember to download programs supporting TOOLS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of djgpp with TOOLS files
If, despite the installed application, the TOOLS file does not start in the djgpp application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 djgpp application as the default for handling the TOOLS file.
Step 3. Update djgpp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the djgpp program with the DJGPP Tools file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Delorie Software website or update the program from the application.
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TOOLS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TOOLS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TOOLS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TOOLS 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TOOLS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Delorie Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TOOLS 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.
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. It is best to move TOOLS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TOOLS to close. However, some background programs may block the TOOLS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
