What is IPDB file?
The file with the extension IPDB is the Database Files file type. The creator of this file is SolarWinds. Additionally, the Database Files category contains 403 of other files. IP Address Tracker IP Database is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is IP Address Tracker. This was created by SolarWinds.
How to open IPDB file?
The most common problem when using IP Address Tracker IP Database is that a specific IPDB is not associated with the program. This causes the file IPDB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IPDB 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 IP Address Tracker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IP Address Tracker is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IP Address Tracker 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 IPDB files.
Programs to open IPDB file
Remember to download programs supporting IPDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IP Address Tracker with IPDB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IPDB file to open in the IP Address Tracker application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 IP Address Tracker application as the default for handling the IPDB file.
Step 3. Update IP Address Tracker to the latest version
If, however, after binding IP Address Tracker with IP Address Tracker IP Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the SolarWinds website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IPDB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The IPDB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IPDB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IPDB file. However, remember that not every infected IPDB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of IPDB 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IPDB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use SolarWinds help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IPDB 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. It is best to move IPDB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IPDB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
