How to open EYB file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Encarta Yearbook Update Format is that a specific EYB is not associated with the program. This causes the file EYB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EYB 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 Microsoft Encarta
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Encarta program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Encarta in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EYB with Microsoft Encarta. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EYB files.
Programs to open EYB file
Remember to download programs supporting EYB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Encarta with EYB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EYB file still does not use the Microsoft Encarta 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EYB file with the Microsoft Encarta application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Encarta to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Encarta with Microsoft Encarta Yearbook Update 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EYB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to EYB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EYB file. However, remember that not every infected EYB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EYB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EYB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EYB 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EYB file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the EYB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
