It was released by Diego Zamora.
How to open KBS file?
The most common problem when using Keyboard Script Format is that a specific KBS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that KBS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KBS 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 Keyboard Script
In this case, you should first verify that the Keyboard Script application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Keyboard Script in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KBS with Keyboard Script. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KBS files.
Programs to open KBS file
Remember to download programs supporting KBS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Keyboard Script with KBS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KBS file to open in the Keyboard Script application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 KBS file with the Keyboard Script program.
Step 3. Update Keyboard Script to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Keyboard Script program, it is possible that Keyboard Script Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Diego Zamora website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KBS 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 KBS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KBS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected KBS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KBS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KBS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact PC Dirck
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KBS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move KBS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KBS file again. However, some background programs may block the KBS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
