How to open TVT file?

An often recurring problem with IBM Lenovo ThinkVantage Rescue And Recovery is that TVT is not associated with the correct program file.

Step 1. Install Rescue and Recovery

Programs to open TVT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Rescue and Recovery with TVT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TVT file to open in the Rescue and Recovery application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Rescue and Recovery application as the default for handling the TVT file.

Step 3. Update Rescue and Recovery to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Rescue and Recovery program, it is possible that IBM Lenovo ThinkVantage Rescue And Recovery requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TVT 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TVT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TVT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TVT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TVT 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TVT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TVT 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 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 TVT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TVT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TVT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
