How to open IVB file?
The most common problem when using Truevision Targa Format Bitmap Graphics is that a specific IVB is not associated with the program. This causes the file IVB 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 IVB 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 XnView
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XnView into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support IVB files.
Programs to open IVB file
Remember to download programs supporting IVB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with IVB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IVB file still does not use the XnView program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IVB file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Truevision Targa Format Bitmap Graphics requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IVB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The IVB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IVB file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IVB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IVB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IVB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IVB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IVB 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the IVB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IVB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IVB 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.
