Step 1. Install GameMaker

Step 2. Create association of GameMaker with GB1 files
If, despite the installed application, the GB1 file does not start in the GameMaker application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GameMaker application as the default for handling the GB1 file.
Step 3. Update GameMaker to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GameMaker program, it is possible that Game Maker Backup Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GB1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to GB1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GB1 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GB1 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 GB1 files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GB1 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GB1 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 GB1 file to another location.
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 GB1 to close. However, some background programs may block the GB1 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
