How to open LABY file?

The most common problem when using Laby Level Format is that a specific LABY is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LABY 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 LABY 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 Laby

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 LABY files.

Programs to open LABY file

Remember to download programs supporting LABY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Laby with LABY files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LABY file to open in the Laby application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Laby application as the default for handling the LABY file.

Step 3. Update Laby to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Laby program, it is possible that Laby Level Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LABY file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The LABY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LABY file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LABY file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LABY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LABY file. 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 LABY file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LABY 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move LABY to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LABY 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 LABY to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
