What is TRE file?

The TRE file has been categorized as Game Files. It was designed by Electronic Arts, Inc.. Game Files consists of 1509 similar files. EA SPORTS Game appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

You can use FIFA Soccer 2002, Wing Commander III in case NHL 08 cannot be used.

How to open TRE file?

An often recurring problem with EA SPORTS Game is that TRE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TRE 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 TRE 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 NHL 08

The first step is to check if the computer has the NHL 08 program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name NHL 08 in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TRE.

Programs to open TRE file

Remember to download programs supporting TRE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NHL 08 with TRE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TRE file still does not use the NHL 08 program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 NHL 08 application as the default for handling the TRE file.

Step 3. Update NHL 08 to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the NHL 08 program, it is possible that EA SPORTS Game requires a newer version of the program.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 Electronic Arts, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TRE 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 TRE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TRE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TRE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TRE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TRE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Electronic Arts, 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 TRE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TRE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TRE file again. However, some background programs may block the TRE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
