How to open FB! file?
The most common problem when using FlashGet Incomplete Download Format is that a specific FB! is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FB! files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FB! 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 FlashGet
In this case, you should first verify that the FlashGet application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FlashGet in it.

Programs to open FB! file
Remember to download programs supporting FB! files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FlashGet with FB! files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FB! file still does not use the FlashGet 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FB! file with the FlashGet program.
Step 3. Update FlashGet to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FlashGet program with the FlashGet Incomplete Download Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Trend Media Corporation Limited page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FB! 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FB! files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 FB! file. However, remember that not every infected FB! 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 FB! 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FB! file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use FlashGet help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FB! files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the FB! file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FB! file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FB! file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
