How to open TURBOC3 file?

An often recurring problem with Borland Turbo C Makefile is that TURBOC3 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TURBOC3 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TURBOC3 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 C

The first step is to check if the computer has the Turbo C program installed. This can be achieved by typing Turbo C into the operating system search engine. 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 TURBOC3 files.

Programs to open TURBOC3 file

Remember to download programs supporting TURBOC3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Turbo C with TURBOC3 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TURBOC3 file still does not use the Turbo C 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Turbo C application as the default for handling the TURBOC3 file.

Step 3. Update Turbo C to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Turbo C program, it is possible that Borland Turbo C Makefile requires a newer version of the program.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 TURBOC3 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TURBOC3 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TURBOC3 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TURBOC3 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TURBOC3 file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged TURBOC3 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TURBOC3 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TURBOC3 file to another location.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TURBOC3 file again. However, some background programs may block the TURBOC3 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
