Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ORB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The ORB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ORB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ORB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ORB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ORB 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ORB file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ORB 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ORB to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ORB 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 ORB file again. However, some background programs may block the ORB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
