How to open ATB file?

The most common problem when using AnetHelp Tools is that a specific ATB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ATB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ATB 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 AnetHelpTool

In this case, you should first verify that the AnetHelpTool application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing AnetHelpTool 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 ATB files.

Programs to open ATB file

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

Step 2. Create association of AnetHelpTool with ATB files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ATB file to open in the AnetHelpTool 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AnetHelpTool application as the default for handling the ATB file.

Step 3. Update AnetHelpTool to the latest version

If, despite the association of the AnetHelpTool program with the AnetHelp Tools file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Anet page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ATB 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 ATB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ATB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ATB 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ATB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Anet
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ATB 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 ATB to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ATB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ATB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
