How to open OBML file?

An often recurring problem with Opera Mini Saved Web Page is that OBML is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open OBML, 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 OBML 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 OperaMiniLargeDevice

In this case, you should first verify that the OperaMiniLargeDevice application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name OperaMiniLargeDevice into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support OBML files.

Step 2. Create association of OperaMiniLargeDevice with OBML files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OBML file to open in the OperaMiniLargeDevice application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 OperaMiniLargeDevice application as the default for handling the OBML file.

Step 3. Update OperaMiniLargeDevice to the latest version

If, despite the association of the OperaMiniLargeDevice program with the Opera Mini Saved Web Page file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OBML 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 OBML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to OBML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OBML file. Sometimes virus-infected OBML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OBML 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 OBML files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OBML 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the OBML file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OBML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OBML file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
