Troubleshooting Problems Opening TX8 Files

Frequent TX8 Opening Issues

Notepad++ Disappeared

You attempt to load your TX8 file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The TX8 File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have Notepad++ installed for %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens TX8 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Outdated Notepad++

It is possible that your version of Notepad++ isn't able to open your DOS Text File file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Notepad++ if you don't have the right version. Your DOS Text File file was probably created by a newer release of Notepad++ than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the TX8 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening TX8 files are due to having the incorrect version of Notepad++ installed on your computer.

Other TX8 File Issues

Even with the correct version of Notepad++ installed, you can still experience difficulties opening TX8s. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening TX8 files. Problems unrelated to software:

• Invalid TX8 file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• Accidental deletion of the description of the TX8 file in the Windows registry
• Notepad++ or another TX8 application experienced a flawed installation
• The TX8 itself is corrupted
• Past or present virus infection has affected your TX8
• Hardware associated with TX8 has outdated drivers
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your DOS Text File file successfully
