How to open CB7 file?

The most common problem when using Comic Book 7-Zip Archive is that a specific CB7 is not associated with the program.

Step 1. Install StuffIt Deluxe

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that StuffIt Deluxe is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name StuffIt Deluxe in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CB7 files.

Step 2. Create association of StuffIt Deluxe with CB7 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CB7 file still does not use the StuffIt Deluxe program, it means no 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the StuffIt Deluxe application as the default for handling the CB7 file.

Step 3. Update StuffIt Deluxe to the latest version

If, however, after binding StuffIt Deluxe with Comic Book 7-Zip Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CB7 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 CB7 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CB7 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CB7 file. However, remember that not every infected CB7 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CB7 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CB7 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CB7 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CB7 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CB7 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
