Understanding TXL Issues
Typical TXL Opening Challenges
Notepad++ is Not Installed
You attempt to load your TXL file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The TXL File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Notepad++ for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your TXL because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: When another TXL application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Notepad++ Requires Update
It is possible that your version of Notepad++ isn't able to open your TXL Source Code file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of Notepad++ from Don Ho is recommended. Most of the time your TXL Source Code file was created by a newer Notepad++ than what you have installed.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of TXL file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Primarily, problems experienced when opening TXL files are due to having the incorrect version of Notepad++ installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading TXL Files
Although you might already have Notepad++ or another TXL-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening TXL Source Code files. Other TXL opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:
- Windows Registry TXL file paths that are incorrect
- The TXL file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Notepad++ or another TXL application experienced a flawed installation
- Something has caused file corruption of your TXL
- Past or present virus infection has affected your TXL
- TXL-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the TXL Source Code file
