The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

Step 3. Update ToyViewer to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JBIG 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to JBIG 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JBIG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JBIG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of JBIG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JBIG files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JBIG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JBIG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the JBIG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JBIG to close. 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.
