How to open CBW file?

The main problem with ComicRack Webcomics is that the CBW file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CBW 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 CBW 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 ComicRacks

In this case, you should first verify that the ComicRacks application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ComicRacks in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CBW.

Programs to open CBW file

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

Step 2. Create association of ComicRacks with CBW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CBW file still does not use the ComicRacks program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 CBW file with the ComicRacks program.

Step 3. Update ComicRacks to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ComicRacks program, it is possible that ComicRack Webcomics requires a newer version of the program.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

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The CBW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CBW file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CBW file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CBW 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 CBW 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CBW files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ComicRacks Team
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CBW 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. If possible, you can try to move the CBW file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CBW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CBW file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CBW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
