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.

However, remember that not every infected QB2005 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 QB2005 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QB2005 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Intuit, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QB2005 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the QB2005 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QB2005 to close. However, some background programs may block the QB2005 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
