How to open OLB2 file?
An often recurring problem with CanOpener Library is that OLB2 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open OLB2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OLB2 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 CanOpener
The first step is to check if the computer has the CanOpener program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CanOpener in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support OLB2 files.
Programs to open OLB2 file
Remember to download programs supporting OLB2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CanOpener with OLB2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OLB2 file to open in the CanOpener 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CanOpener application as the default for handling the OLB2 file.
Step 3. Update CanOpener to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CanOpener program, it is possible that CanOpener Library requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Abbot Systems website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OLB2 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 OLB2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the OLB2 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OLB2 file. However, remember that not every infected OLB2 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 OLB2 file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OLB2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Abbot Systems
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OLB2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the OLB2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OLB2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OLB2 file again. However, some background programs may block the OLB2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
