Older version of 00B 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 00B files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact PenSoft
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 00B 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the 00B file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 00B file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 00B file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
