The DBE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DBE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DBE file on each system platform.
What is DBE file?
The DBE file has been categorized as Backup Files. Backup Files consists of 243 similar files. ActiveSync Backup Format Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The ActiveSync application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open DBE file?
The main problem with ActiveSync Backup Format Format is that the DBE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DBE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DBE 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 ActiveSync
The first step is to check if the computer has the ActiveSync program installed. This can be achieved by typing ActiveSync 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 DBE files.
Programs to open DBE file
Remember to download programs supporting DBE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ActiveSync with DBE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DBE file to open in the ActiveSync application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 ActiveSync application as the default for handling the DBE file.
Step 3. Update ActiveSync to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ActiveSync program with the ActiveSync Backup Format Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DBE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DBE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DBE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DBE file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DBE 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 DBE files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DBE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DBE 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. It is best to move DBE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DBE file again. However, some background programs may block the DBE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
