How to open TP_CONTACT file?
The most common problem when using ThumbsPlus Data Format is that a specific TP_CONTACT is not associated with the program. This causes the file TP_CONTACT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TP_CONTACT 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 ThumbsPlus
In this case, you should first verify that the ThumbsPlus application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ThumbsPlus in it.

Programs to open TP_CONTACT file
Remember to download programs supporting TP_CONTACT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ThumbsPlus with TP_CONTACT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TP_CONTACT file to open in the ThumbsPlus 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TP_CONTACT file with the ThumbsPlus application.
Step 3. Update ThumbsPlus to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ThumbsPlus program with the ThumbsPlus Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cerious Software, Inc. page and install.
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The TP_CONTACT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TP_CONTACT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TP_CONTACT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TP_CONTACT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TP_CONTACT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 TP_CONTACT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TP_CONTACT 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. If possible, you can try to move the TP_CONTACT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TP_CONTACT file again. However, some background programs may block the TP_CONTACT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
