How to open XTL file?
The most common problem when using Vietcong Data Format is that a specific XTL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that XTL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XTL 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 Vietcong
The first step is to check if the computer has the Vietcong program installed. To do this, enter the name Vietcong into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XTL files.
Programs to open XTL file
Remember to download programs supporting XTL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Vietcong with XTL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XTL file still does not use the Vietcong program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XTL file with the Vietcong program.
Step 3. Update Vietcong to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Vietcong program with the Vietcong Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the PTERODON, Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XTL 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XTL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XTL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected XTL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of XTL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XTL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Pterodon, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XTL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XTL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the XTL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
