Programs to open FB1 file
Remember to download programs supporting FB1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FAWAVE with FB1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FB1 file to open in the FAWAVE application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FB1 file with the FAWAVE application.
Step 3. Update FAWAVE to the latest version
If, however, after binding FAWAVE with FAWAVE Binary there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FB1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FB1 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FB1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FB1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FB1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 FB1 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FB1 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FB1 to a different directory.
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 FB1 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FB1 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
