Remember to download programs supporting XBMP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Area-51 with XBMP files

If, despite the installed application, the XBMP file does not start in the Area-51 application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XBMP file with the Area-51 program.

Step 3. Update Area-51 to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Area-51 program with the Area 51 Game file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Midway Home Entertainment Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XBMP file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XBMP file. Sometimes virus-infected XBMP 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 XBMP 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XBMP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Midway Home Entertainment Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XBMP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XBMP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XBMP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XBMP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
