How to open VLB file?
The main problem with Corel Ventura Library is that the VLB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VLB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VLB 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 Corel Ventura
In this case, you should first verify that the Corel Ventura application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Corel Ventura 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 VLB with Corel Ventura. Below you will find a list of applications that support VLB files.
Programs to open VLB file
Remember to download programs supporting VLB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel Ventura with VLB files
If, despite the installed application, the VLB file does not start in the Corel Ventura 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 select the desired program. 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 VLB file with the Corel Ventura program.
Step 3. Update Corel Ventura to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Corel Ventura program with the Corel Ventura Library file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VLB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VLB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VLB file. However, remember that not every infected VLB 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 VLB file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VLB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VLB 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 VLB 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VLB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
