How to open IBV file?
The most common problem when using IGOR Pro Binary Variable is that a specific IBV is not associated with the program. This causes the file IBV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IBV 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 IGOR Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the IGOR Pro program installed. To do this, enter the name IGOR Pro into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IBV files.
Programs to open IBV file
Remember to download programs supporting IBV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IGOR Pro with IBV files
If, despite the installed application, the IBV file does not start in the IGOR Pro 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IBV file with the IGOR Pro program.
Step 3. Update IGOR Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IGOR Pro program, it is possible that IGOR Pro Binary Variable requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IBV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The IBV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IBV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IBV file. Sometimes virus-infected IBV 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 IBV files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair IBV file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IBV 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. Copying the IBV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
