Understanding XLTD Issues
Troubles Opening XLTD Files
Unknown Software Removed
If you attempt to load your XLTD file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open XLTD Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Unknown Software missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your XLTD with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens XLTD files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Unknown Software is Out-of-Date
In other instances, your Thunder Temporary Data File file version may not be supported by your version of Unknown Software. Visit the Unknown Developer website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Unknown Software. The primary cause of this problem is that your Thunder Temporary Data File file was created by a different (newer) version of Unknown Software than what's installed.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of XLTD file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Primarily, problems experienced when opening XLTD files are due to having the incorrect version of Unknown Software installed on your computer.
Other XLTD File Issues
Even with the correct version of Unknown Software installed, you can still experience difficulties opening XLTDs. If you are continuing to have errors with loading XLTD files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:
- XLTD file type Registry entries are wrong
- Deletion of the XLTD file description from the Registry by mistake
- Corrupt install of Unknown Software or other XLTD-related program
- XLTD file corruption
- Past or present virus infection has affected your XLTD
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your XLTD file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Thunder Temporary Data File format
