What is TPH file?
The TPH file has been categorized as Document Files. The author of this format is Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. Additionally, the Document Files category contains 574 of other files. Turbo Pascal Help is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Turbo Pascal. This was created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open TPH file?
An often recurring problem with Turbo Pascal Help is that TPH is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TPH 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 TPH 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 Turbo Pascal
In this case, you should first verify that the Turbo Pascal application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Turbo Pascal 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 TPH files.
Programs to open TPH file
Remember to download programs supporting TPH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Turbo Pascal with TPH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TPH file to open in the Turbo Pascal application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Turbo Pascal application as the default for handling the TPH file.
Step 3. Update Turbo Pascal to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Turbo Pascal program, it is possible that Turbo Pascal Help requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TPH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The TPH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TPH file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TPH file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TPH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TPH 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TPH files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Embarcadero Technologies, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TPH files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TPH file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TPH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
