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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MBG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MBG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MBG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MBG 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MBG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Fookes
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MBG 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MBG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MBG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MBG to close. However, some background programs may block the MBG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
