How to open XTIC file?

The main problem with ActivInspire Ticker is that the XTIC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open XTIC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XTIC 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 ActivInspire

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ActivInspire is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ActivInspire into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XTIC with ActivInspire. Below is a list of programs that support the file XTIC.

Programs to open XTIC file

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

Step 2. Create association of ActivInspire with XTIC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XTIC file to open in the ActivInspire application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 ActivInspire application as the default for handling the XTIC file.

Step 3. Update ActivInspire to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ActivInspire program, it is possible that ActivInspire Ticker requires a newer version of the program.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 Promethean World plc page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XTIC 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. This suggests truncating the XTIC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XTIC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XTIC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XTIC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 XTIC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Promethean World plc
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XTIC 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XTIC file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 XTIC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
