If You Have Embroidery File, Oric Atmos Snapshot, or Tape File Installed

If one of these software packages are already installed on your PC, but it still won't work to open your TAP file, you might have to check that the file associations are correct. Right-click on the file, select "Open With...", and then select Embroidery File, Oric Atmos Snapshot, or Tape File. That will create an association between the TAP file extension and your chosen software.

Your TAP Might Be Corrupt

Finally, if you're still having issues opening your TAP file, download the file again or ask the sender to resend it. It's possible that your TAP file might be corrupt. As a last resort, contact the software developers to see if they may be of further assistance.
