TBK Troubleshooting

Troubles Opening TBK Files

ToolBook Disappeared

You attempt to load your TBK file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The TBK File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have ToolBook installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the TBK file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: When another TBK application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

ToolBook is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a ToolBook Project File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of ToolBook installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your ToolBook Project File file was probably created by a newer release of ToolBook than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of TBK file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Summary: Not having the right ToolBook version on your computer can cause problems opening TBK files.

Additional TBK Opening Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of ToolBook will resolve your issue. Other TBK opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These issues include:

• Windows Registry TBK file paths that are incorrect
• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry TBK description
• ToolBook or another TBK application experienced a flawed installation
• The TBK itself is corrupted
• TBK file integrity has been compromised by malware
• Device drivers of the hardware associated with your TBK file are corrupt or out-of-date
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your ToolBook Project File file successfully
