Programs to open AMB file
Remember to download programs supporting AMB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Bolide All My Books with AMB files
If, despite the installed application, the AMB file does not start in the Bolide All My Books 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 set the program to handle this type. 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.

Step 3. Update Bolide All My Books to the latest version
If, however, after binding Bolide All My Books with All My Books Database Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AMB 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AMB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AMB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected AMB 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 AMB 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AMB file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AMB 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 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 AMB to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the AMB 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 AMB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
