How to open LGB file?
An often recurring problem with QuickBooks Little Green Box is that LGB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that LGB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGB 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 QuickBooks
The first step is to check if the computer has the QuickBooks program installed. This can be achieved by typing QuickBooks into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LGB files.
Programs to open LGB file
Remember to download programs supporting LGB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickBooks with LGB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LGB file still does not use the QuickBooks program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 QuickBooks application as the default for handling the LGB file.
Step 3. Update QuickBooks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the QuickBooks program with the QuickBooks Little Green Box file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Intuit Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LGB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The LGB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LGB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LGB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LGB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LGB file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LGB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intuit Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LGB 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 LGB file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LGB 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 LGB 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.
