The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FBR 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 FlashBack Express

Programs to open FBR file

Remember to download programs supporting FBR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of FlashBack Express with FBR files

If, despite the installed application, the FBR file does not start in the FlashBack Express application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 FBR file with the FlashBack Express application.

Step 3. Update FlashBack Express to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the FlashBack Express program, it is possible that FlashBack Screen Recording requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FBR 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 FBR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FBR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FBR file. However, remember that not every infected FBR 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 FBR file. 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.
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 FBR file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FBR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the FBR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FBR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
