How to open SBZ file?
The main problem with ShowBiz Project is that the SBZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SBZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SBZ 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 ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 2
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 2 is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 2 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 SBZ files.
Programs to open SBZ file
Remember to download programs supporting SBZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 2 with SBZ files
If, despite the installed application, the SBZ file does not start in the ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 2 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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 SBZ file with the ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 2 program.
Step 3. Update ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 2 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 2 program, it is possible that ShowBiz Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ArcSoft, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SBZ 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. This suggests truncating the SBZ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SBZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SBZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SBZ files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SBZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ArcSoft, Inc., 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 SBZ 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SBZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
