Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MCBN file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MCBN file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MCBN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MCBN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MCBN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MCBN 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MCBN file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MCBN 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 MCBN 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.
