How to open DBB file?
The main problem with Skype User Information Format is that the DBB file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DBB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DBB 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 Skype
In this case, you should first verify that the Skype application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Skype 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 DBB files.
Programs to open DBB file
Remember to download programs supporting DBB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Skype with DBB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DBB file still does not use the Skype 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 DBB file with the Skype program.
Step 3. Update Skype to the latest version
If, however, after binding Skype with Skype User Information Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Skype Limited page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DBB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DBB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DBB file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DBB file. Sometimes virus-infected DBB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DBB file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DBB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Skype
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DBB 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. If possible, you can try to move the DBB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DBB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DBB 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.
