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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Diploma application as the default for handling the QB file.

Step 3. Update Diploma to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Diploma program, it is possible that Diploma Question requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Wimba, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QB file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The QB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the QB file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected QB 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 QB file. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Wimba, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QB 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the QB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 QB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
