How to open BB1 file?
The most common problem when using BBC Micro Picture Image Format is that a specific BB1 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BB1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BB1 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install RECOIL
In this case, you should first verify that the RECOIL application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RECOIL in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BB1 files.
Programs to open BB1 file
Remember to download programs supporting BB1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with BB1 files
If, despite the installed application, the BB1 file does not start in the RECOIL application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RECOIL application as the default for handling the BB1 file.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
If, however, after binding RECOIL with BBC Micro Picture Image Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BB1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to BB1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BB1 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BB1 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BB1 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BB1 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BB1 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BB1 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BB1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BB1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
