Step 2. Create association of K3b with K3B files

If, despite the installed application, the K3B file does not start in the K3b application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the K3b application as the default for handling the K3B file.

Step 3. Update K3b to the latest version

If, despite the association of the K3b program with the K3b Disk Burning Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the K3B file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to K3B 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the K3B file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected K3B files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the K3B files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular K3B file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted K3B files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the K3B file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file K3B to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the K3B file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
