How to open BX file?

The main problem with Opera is that the BX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BX 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 Opera browser

The first step is to check if the computer has the Opera browser program installed. This can be achieved by typing Opera browser into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support BX files.

Programs to open BX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Opera browser with BX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BX file still does not use the Opera browser program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 Opera browser application as the default for handling the BX file.

Step 3. Update Opera browser to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Opera browser program, it is possible that Opera requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Opera Software ASA website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BX files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Opera Software ASA
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the BX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
