How to open SBI file?
The main problem with Sound Blaster Instrument is that the SBI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SBI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SBI 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 Awave Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Awave Studio application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Awave Studio into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SBI files.
Programs to open SBI file
Remember to download programs supporting SBI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with SBI files
If, despite the installed application, the SBI file does not start in the Awave Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Awave Studio application as the default for handling the SBI file.
Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Awave Studio with Sound Blaster Instrument there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FMJ-Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SBI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SBI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SBI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SBI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SBI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SBI files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SBI 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SBI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SBI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
