Tips to open TSR file
Can't open the TSR file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open TSR files as well as a list of programs that support TSR files.
TSR file extension
The TSR file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TSR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TSR file on each system platform.
What is TSR file?
The file with the extension TSR is the Misc Files file type. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. TSR Launcher 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. The main program that supports this format is The Sims 3. This was created by Electronic Arts, Inc..
How to open TSR file?
The most common problem when using TSR Launcher is that a specific TSR is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open TSR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TSR 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 The Sims 3
The first step is to check if the computer has the The Sims 3 program installed. This can be achieved by typing The Sims 3 into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support TSR files.
Programs to open TSR file
Remember to download programs supporting TSR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Sims 3 with TSR files
If, despite the installed application, the TSR file does not start in the The Sims 3 application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TSR file with the The Sims 3 program.
Step 3. Update The Sims 3 to the latest version
If, however, after binding The Sims 3 with TSR Launcher there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 TSR 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 TSR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TSR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TSR file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TSR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TSR files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TSR files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TSR 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. It is best to move TSR to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TSR to close. However, some background programs may block the TSR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
