The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BBZ 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 Windows Notepad

The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Notepad program installed. To do this, enter the name Windows Notepad into the 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 BBZ files.

Programs to open BBZ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with BBZ files

If, despite the installed application, the BBZ file does not start in the Windows Notepad 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BBZ file with the Windows Notepad program.

Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Windows Notepad program with the BerryBuzz Backup Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BBZ 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BBZ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BBZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BBZ files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BBZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Bellshare
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BBZ 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BBZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BBZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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.
