Step 2. Create association of ObjectBar with MENUSKIN files
If, despite the installed application, the MENUSKIN file does not start in the ObjectBar application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MENUSKIN file with the ObjectBar application.
Step 3. Update ObjectBar to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ObjectBar program with the ObjectBar Menu Skin Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Stardock Corporation website and install the latest version.
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MENUSKIN file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MENUSKIN file. However, remember that not every infected MENUSKIN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MENUSKIN files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MENUSKIN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MENUSKIN 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MENUSKIN file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MENUSKIN file again. 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.
