The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ALB 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.

Programs to open ALB file
Remember to download programs supporting ALB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Alpha Five with ALB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ALB file to open in the Alpha Five application, but you can set it manually. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ALB file with the Alpha Five application.
Step 3. Update Alpha Five to the latest version
If, however, after binding Alpha Five with Alpha Five Library there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Alpha Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ALB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ALB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ALB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ALB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ALB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ALB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Alpha Software, 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 file ALB except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 ALB file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ALB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ALB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
