Step 2. Create association of Band-in-a-Box with MG4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MG4 file to open in the Band-in-a-Box application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MG4 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MG4 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MG4 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 MG4 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MG4 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact PG Music Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MG4 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move MG4 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MG4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MG4 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
