How to open VMBX file?
The main problem with HP TRIM Outlook Saved Message is that the VMBX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VMBX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VMBX 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 HP TRIM
The first step is to check if the computer has the HP TRIM program installed. This can be achieved by typing HP TRIM into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VMBX files.
Programs to open VMBX file
Remember to download programs supporting VMBX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HP TRIM with VMBX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VMBX file still does not use the HP TRIM program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VMBX file with the HP TRIM application.
Step 3. Update HP TRIM to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the HP TRIM program, it is possible that HP TRIM Outlook Saved Message requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Hewlett-Packard Company page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VMBX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The VMBX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VMBX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VMBX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VMBX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VMBX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VMBX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Hewlett-Packard Company, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VMBX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move VMBX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VMBX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VMBX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
