How to open B5I file?
The most common problem when using BlindWrite Image Format is that a specific B5I is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that B5I files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the B5I 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 BlindWrite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that BlindWrite is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing BlindWrite into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file B5I with BlindWrite. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open B5I files.
Programs to open B5I file
Remember to download programs supporting B5I files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BlindWrite with B5I files
If, despite the installed application, the B5I file does not start in the BlindWrite 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. 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 BlindWrite application as the default for handling the B5I file.
Step 3. Update BlindWrite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the BlindWrite program with the BlindWrite Image Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the VSO-Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the B5I 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 B5I file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our B5I file. Sometimes virus-infected B5I files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of B5I 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular B5I file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting VSO Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted B5I 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. If possible, you can try to move the B5I file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
