The GSBA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GSBA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 GSBA or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GSBA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GSBA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GSBA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the GSBA file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GSBA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GSBA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
