Step 2. Create association of Foobar2000 with FB2K-COMPONENT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FB2K-COMPONENT file still does not use the Foobar2000 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FB2K-COMPONENT file with the Foobar2000 application.

Step 3. Update Foobar2000 to the latest version

If, however, after binding Foobar2000 with Foobar2000 Application Data 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 Peter Pawlowski page and install.

The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts.

However, remember that not every infected FB2K-COMPONENT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FB2K-COMPONENT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FB2K-COMPONENT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FB2K-COMPONENT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FB2K-COMPONENT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FB2K-COMPONENT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FB2K-COMPONENT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
