How to open MPDB file?
The main problem with Windows Media Player Database is that the MPDB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MPDB 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 MPDB 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 Windows Media Player
The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Media Player program installed. To do this, enter the name Windows Media Player into the 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 MPDB.
Programs to open MPDB file
Remember to download programs supporting MPDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Media Player with MPDB files
If, despite the installed application, the MPDB file does not start in the Windows Media Player application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 MPDB file with the Windows Media Player application.
Step 3. Update Windows Media Player to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Windows Media Player program with the Windows Media Player Database 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MPDB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MPDB 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MPDB file. Sometimes virus-infected MPDB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MPDB file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 option of recovering data from damaged MPDB files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MPDB 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MPDB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MPDB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MPDB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
