What is KGB file?
The KGB file has been categorized as Compressed Files. It was designed by Tomasz Pawlak. In addition to this file, the Compressed Files category includes 236 related files. KGB Archive Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The KGB Archiver application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Tomasz Pawlak.
How to open KGB file?
The most common problem when using KGB Archive Format is that a specific KGB is not associated with the program. This causes the file KGB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KGB 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 KGB Archiver
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that KGB Archiver is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing KGB Archiver into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KGB with KGB Archiver. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KGB files.
Programs to open KGB file
Remember to download programs supporting KGB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KGB Archiver with KGB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KGB file still does not use the KGB Archiver 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the KGB file with the KGB Archiver application.
Step 3. Update KGB Archiver to the latest version
If, despite the association of the KGB Archiver program with the KGB Archive Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Tomasz Pawlak page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KGB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The KGB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the KGB file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KGB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected KGB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KGB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KGB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Tomasz Pawlak help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KGB 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. If possible, you can try to move the KGB 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KGB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
