How to open XSTB file?
The most common problem when using TextBridge is that a specific XSTB is not associated with the program. This causes the file XSTB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XSTB 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 TextBridge Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the TextBridge Pro program installed. To do this, enter the name TextBridge Pro 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 XSTB with TextBridge Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file XSTB.
Programs to open XSTB file
Remember to download programs supporting XSTB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TextBridge Pro with XSTB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XSTB file to open in the TextBridge Pro application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XSTB file with the TextBridge Pro application.
Step 3. Update TextBridge Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding TextBridge Pro with TextBridge there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nuance Communications, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XSTB 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. Usually this applies to XSTB 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 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XSTB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XSTB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XSTB files changes over time. 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 the program itself has options to repair the most popular XSTB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nuance Communications, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XSTB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XSTB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the XSTB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
