How to open TSK file?
The main problem with Pocket PC Skin is that the TSK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TSK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TSK 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 ActiveSync
The first step is to check if the computer has the ActiveSync program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ActiveSync in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TSK with ActiveSync. Below you will find a list of applications that support TSK files.
Programs to open TSK file
Remember to download programs supporting TSK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ActiveSync with TSK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TSK file to open in the ActiveSync application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TSK file with the ActiveSync application.
Step 3. Update ActiveSync to the latest version
If, however, after binding ActiveSync with Pocket PC Skin there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TSK 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TSK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TSK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TSK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TSK files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TSK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TSK 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TSK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TSK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
