How to open RFB file?
The most common problem when using RoboForm Bookmark Format is that a specific RFB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that RFB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RFB 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 RoboForm for Chrome
The first step is to check if the computer has the RoboForm for Chrome program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RoboForm for Chrome in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RFB with RoboForm for Chrome. Below is a list of programs that support the file RFB.
Programs to open RFB file
Remember to download programs supporting RFB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RoboForm for Chrome with RFB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RFB file to open in the RoboForm for Chrome application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RFB file with the RoboForm for Chrome program.
Step 3. Update RoboForm for Chrome to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RoboForm for Chrome program, it is possible that RoboForm Bookmark Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Siber Systems, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RFB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RFB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RFB file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RFB 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 RFB file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RFB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Siber Systems help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RFB 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RFB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RFB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RFB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RFB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
