What is OCB file?
The file in the OCB format belongs to the Developer Files category. It was designed by OriginLab Corporation. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Origin Precompiled Origin C is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Origin to handle this file. This is a program created by OriginLab Corporation.
How to open OCB file?
An often recurring problem with Origin Precompiled Origin C is that OCB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that OCB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OCB 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 Origin
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Origin is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Origin into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OCB files.
Programs to open OCB file
Remember to download programs supporting OCB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Origin with OCB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OCB file to open in the Origin 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. 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 Origin application as the default for handling the OCB file.
Step 3. Update Origin to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Origin program with the Origin Precompiled Origin C 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 OriginLab Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OCB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The OCB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the OCB file contents when downloading or copying. 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 OCB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OCB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OCB files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 ability to automatically repair OCB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact OriginLab Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OCB 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move OCB to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the OCB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OCB file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
