Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TT16 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The TT16 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TT16 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TT16 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TT16 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TT16 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TT16 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 file TT16 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the TT16 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TT16 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TT16 file again. However, some background programs may block the TT16 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
