How to open OEB file?

Step 1. Install Outlook Express Backup Wizard

Programs to open OEB file
Remember to download programs supporting OEB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Outlook Express Backup Wizard with OEB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OEB file to open in the Outlook Express Backup Wizard 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OEB file with the Outlook Express Backup Wizard application.
Step 3. Update Outlook Express Backup Wizard to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Outlook Express Backup Wizard program with the Outlook Express Backup Wizard Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the QSX Software Group website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OEB 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OEB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OEB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OEB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OEB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OEB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting QSX, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OEB 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. If possible, you can try to move the OEB file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OEB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
