The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XLBN 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XLBN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XLBN 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 XLBN 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage.

Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XLBN file again. However, some background programs may block the XLBN file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
