The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BB5 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 RECOIL

Programs to open BB5 file
Remember to download programs supporting BB5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with BB5 files
If, despite the installed application, the BB5 file does not start in the RECOIL application, you must create a file association. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BB5 file with the RECOIL program.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
If, however, after binding RECOIL with BBC Micro Picture Image Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BB5 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 BB5 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BB5 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BB5 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BB5 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BB5 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BB5 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the BB5 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BB5 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BB5 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
