How to open SRB file?

An often recurring problem with Corel ClipArt ScrapBook Data Format is that SRB is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SRB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SRB 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 XWE

In this case, you should first verify that the XWE application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XWE into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SRB with XWE. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SRB files.

Step 2. Create association of XWE with SRB files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SRB file to open in the XWE 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XWE application as the default for handling the SRB file.

Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XWE program with the Corel ClipArt ScrapBook Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SRB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SRB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SRB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SRB files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SRB file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SRB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 SRB file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SRB file again. However, some background programs may block the SRB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
