How to open TPA file?
The main problem with CorelDRAW Custom Graphic is that the TPA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TPA 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 TPA 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 CorelDRAW
In this case, you should first verify that the CorelDRAW application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CorelDRAW in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file TPA.
Programs to open TPA file
Remember to download programs supporting TPA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with TPA files
If, despite the installed application, the TPA file does not start in the CorelDRAW 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TPA file with the CorelDRAW application.
Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version
If, however, after binding CorelDRAW with CorelDRAW Custom Graphic there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TPA file
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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TPA 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TPA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TPA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TPA 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TPA files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TPA 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TPA to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TPA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TPA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TPA file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
