How to open KB file?
An often recurring problem with C++ Keyboard Script is that KB is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open KB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KB 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 Borland C++
In this case, you should first verify that the Borland C++ application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Borland C++ in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file KB.
Programs to open KB file
Remember to download programs supporting KB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Borland C++ with KB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KB file to open in the Borland C++ application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the KB file with the Borland C++ application.
Step 3. Update Borland C++ to the latest version
If, however, after binding Borland C++ with C++ Keyboard Script there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Micro Focus International plc website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KB 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KB 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KB 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Borland help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the KB file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KB to close. However, some background programs may block the KB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
