How to open MPB file?
An often recurring problem with MyPhoneExplorer Backup Format is that MPB is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MPB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MPB 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 MyPhoneExplorer
In this case, you should first verify that the MyPhoneExplorer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MyPhoneExplorer into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file MPB.
Programs to open MPB file
Remember to download programs supporting MPB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MyPhoneExplorer with MPB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MPB file to open in the MyPhoneExplorer application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MyPhoneExplorer application as the default for handling the MPB file.
Step 3. Update MyPhoneExplorer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MyPhoneExplorer program, it is possible that MyPhoneExplorer Backup Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Franz Josef Wechselberger website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MPB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The MPB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MPB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MPB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MPB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MPB 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MPB files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Franz Josef Wechselberger, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MPB except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MPB 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
