How to open MGCB file?
The most common problem when using Equation Illustrator Project Format is that a specific MGCB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MGCB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MGCB 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 Equation Illustrator
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Equation Illustrator is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Equation Illustrator into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MGCB with Equation Illustrator. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MGCB files.
Programs to open MGCB file
Remember to download programs supporting MGCB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Equation Illustrator with MGCB files
If, despite the installed application, the MGCB file does not start in the Equation Illustrator 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 MGCB file with the Equation Illustrator application.
Step 3. Update Equation Illustrator to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Equation Illustrator program with the Equation Illustrator Project 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 MGCSoft website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MGCB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MGCB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 MGCB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MGCB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MGCB 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MGCB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use MGCSoft help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MGCB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the MGCB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MGCB 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 MGCB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MGCB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
