How to open TXT12 file?

The main problem with IRI Scouting Database XML is that the TXT12 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TXT12 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TXT12 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 Windows Notepad

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Notepad is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Windows Notepad 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 TXT12 files.

Programs to open TXT12 file

Remember to download programs supporting TXT12 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with TXT12 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TXT12 file to open in the Windows Notepad 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TXT12 file with the Windows Notepad program.

Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Windows Notepad program, it is possible that IRI Scouting Database XML requires a newer version of the program.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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TXT12 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TXT12 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TXT12 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TXT12 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TXT12 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TXT12 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TXT12 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the TXT12 file to another location.
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 TXT12 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TXT12 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
