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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CRB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CRB 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 CRB 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CRB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use BigOven.com help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CRB 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CRB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CRB 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 CRB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
