How to open VBC file?
The most common problem when using Visual Business Cards is that a specific VBC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VBC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VBC 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 Visual Business Card
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Visual Business Card is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Visual Business Card into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file VBC.
Programs to open VBC file
Remember to download programs supporting VBC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual Business Card with VBC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VBC file to open in the Visual Business Card 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VBC file with the Visual Business Card application.
Step 3. Update Visual Business Card to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Visual Business Card program, it is possible that Visual Business Cards requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Tailwag Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VBC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The VBC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VBC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VBC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected VBC 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 VBC file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VBC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Tailwag Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VBC 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the VBC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VBC file again. However, some background programs may block the VBC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
