What is OBL file?
The file with the extension OBL is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Caligari Corporation. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. TrueSpace is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use trueSpace to handle this file. This is a program created by Caligari Corporation.
How to open OBL file?
The main problem with TrueSpace is that the OBL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file OBL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OBL 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 trueSpace
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that trueSpace is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing trueSpace into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OBL with trueSpace. Below you will find a list of applications that support OBL files.
Programs to open OBL file
Remember to download programs supporting OBL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of trueSpace with OBL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OBL file still does not use the trueSpace program, it means no 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the trueSpace application as the default for handling the OBL file.
Step 3. Update trueSpace to the latest version
If, despite the association of the trueSpace program with the TrueSpace 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 Caligari Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OBL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the OBL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OBL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected OBL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OBL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OBL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Caligari Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OBL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the OBL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OBL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OBL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
