What is X80 file?

It was released by Jeffrey C Johnson (XTree Company).

How to open X80 file?

An often recurring problem with Xtree Gold Dos Help is that X80 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file X80 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the X80 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 XTreeGold

The first step is to check if the computer has the XTreeGold program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XTreeGold in it. 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 X80 files.

Programs to open X80 file

Remember to download programs supporting X80 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XTreeGold with X80 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the X80 file still does not use the XTreeGold program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the X80 file with the XTreeGold application.

Step 3. Update XTreeGold to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XTreeGold program, it is possible that Xtree Gold Dos Help requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Jeffrey C Johnson (XTree Company) website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the X80 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The X80 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to X80 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. 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 X80 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected X80 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the X80 file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular X80 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Jeffrey C Johnson (XTree Company), but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted X80 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move X80 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the X80 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the X80 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
