How to open VAB file?
An often recurring problem with Sony Playstation/PS2 Bank is that VAB is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open VAB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VAB 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. This can be achieved by typing Awave Studio into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open VAB file
Remember to download programs supporting VAB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with VAB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VAB file to open in the Awave Studio application, but you can set it manually. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Awave Studio application as the default for handling the VAB file.
Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Awave Studio program, it is possible that Sony Playstation/PS2 Bank requires a newer version of the program.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 FMJ-Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VAB 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VAB file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VAB file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VAB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VAB file. 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.
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 VAB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VAB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the VAB file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VAB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
