How to open LBE file?

The most common problem when using Life Balance Xml-based Data Exchange is that a specific LBE is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LBE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LBE 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 Life Balance

The first step is to check if the computer has the Life Balance program installed. This can be achieved by typing Life Balance into the operating system search engine. 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 LBE files.

Programs to open LBE file

Remember to download programs supporting LBE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Life Balance with LBE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LBE file to open in the Life Balance application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LBE file with the Life Balance program.

Step 3. Update Life Balance to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Life Balance program with the Life Balance Xml-based Data Exchange file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Llamagraphics website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LBE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LBE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LBE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LBE 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.
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 LBE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Llamagraphics help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LBE 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LBE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LBE 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 LBE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
