How to open BRAIN file?
An often recurring problem with PersonalBrain Mind Map Format is that BRAIN is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BRAIN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BRAIN 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 PersonalBrain
The first step is to check if the computer has the PersonalBrain program installed. To do this, enter the name PersonalBrain into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BRAIN with PersonalBrain. Below is a list of programs that support the file BRAIN.
Programs to open BRAIN file
Remember to download programs supporting BRAIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PersonalBrain with BRAIN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BRAIN file still does not use the PersonalBrain program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 BRAIN file with the PersonalBrain program.
Step 3. Update PersonalBrain to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PersonalBrain program with the PersonalBrain Mind Map 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 TheBrain Technologies LP. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BRAIN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BRAIN file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BRAIN file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BRAIN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BRAIN 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BRAIN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use TheBrain Technologies help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BRAIN 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BRAIN to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BRAIN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BRAIN file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
