The file with the extension B60 is the Graphic Files file type. It was designed by RISCOS Ltd.. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files.

How to open B60 file?
The most common problem when using RISC OS PNG Bitmap Image is that a specific B60 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that B60 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 B60 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 Ovation Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the Ovation Pro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ovation Pro in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file B60 with Ovation Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file B60.
Programs to open B60 file
Remember to download programs supporting B60 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ovation Pro with B60 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the B60 file to open in the Ovation Pro application, but you can set it manually. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Ovation Pro application as the default for handling the B60 file.
Step 3. Update Ovation Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ovation Pro program with the RISC OS PNG Bitmap Image 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 David Pilling website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the B60 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. Usually this applies to B60 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our B60 file. Sometimes virus-infected B60 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of B60 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair B60 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RISCOS Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted B60 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 B60 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the B60 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
