How to open MBD file?
The main problem with Multimedia Builder Project Format is that the MBD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MBD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MBD 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 MultiMedia Builder

Programs to open MBD file
Remember to download programs supporting MBD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MultiMedia Builder with MBD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MBD file still does not use the MultiMedia Builder program, it means no association. 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 MBD file with the MultiMedia Builder program.
Step 3. Update MultiMedia Builder to the latest version
If, however, after binding MultiMedia Builder with Multimedia Builder Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the www.MediaChance.com page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MBD 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. Usually this applies to MBD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 MBD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MBD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MBD file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MBD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact MediaChance
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MBD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MBD file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MBD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MBD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
