World Blade3D will apply when it is not possible to use DarkBASIC Pro.
How to open DBO file?
The main problem with DarkBASIC Object is that the DBO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DBO 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 DBO 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 DarkBASIC Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the DarkBASIC Pro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DarkBASIC Pro in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DBO with DarkBASIC Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file DBO.
Programs to open DBO file
Remember to download programs supporting DBO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DarkBASIC Pro with DBO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DBO file still does not use the DarkBASIC Pro program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DarkBASIC Pro application as the default for handling the DBO file.
Step 3. Update DarkBASIC Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DarkBASIC Pro program with the DarkBASIC Object file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DBO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DBO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DBO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DBO or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DBO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DBO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DBO file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DBO 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 DBO file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DBO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DBO file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
