Step 2. Create association of FAAST Builder with FCB files

If, despite the installed application, the FCB file does not start in the FAAST Builder 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FCB file with the FAAST Builder program.

Step 3. Update FAAST Builder to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the FAAST Builder program, it is possible that FAAST Builder requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Fonix Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FCB 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. Usually this applies to FCB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FCB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FCB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FCB 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FCB files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Fonix Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FCB except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FCB file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FCB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FCB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
