Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MSBCM file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MSBCM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MSBCM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MSBCM 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MSBCM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MSBCM 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. Copying the MSBCM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MSBCM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MSBCM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
