How to open GBI file?
The main problem with GBurner Project Format is that the GBI file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GBI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GBI 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 gBurner
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that gBurner is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing gBurner into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support GBI files.
Programs to open GBI file
Remember to download programs supporting GBI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of gBurner with GBI files
If, despite the installed application, the GBI file does not start in the gBurner application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 GBI file with the gBurner application.
Step 3. Update gBurner to the latest version
If, despite the association of the gBurner program with the GBurner Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the gBurner Systems, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GBI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The GBI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GBI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GBI file. Sometimes virus-infected GBI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GBI files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 GBI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact gBurner Systems
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GBI 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the GBI file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GBI file again. However, some background programs may block the GBI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
