Sources of FZB Problems
Common FZB Opening Problems
Awave Studio Removed
You attempt to load your FZB file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The FZB File Extension". Customarily, this means that Awave Studio is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your FZB file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: Another FZB-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Outdated Awave Studio
Your Casio FZ-1 Bank Dump file is incompatible with Awave Studio because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Awave Studio if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Casio FZ-1 Bank Dump file was created by a different (newer) version of Awave Studio than what's installed.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of FZB file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening FZB files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Other FZB File Issues
Assuming you have the right Awave Studio version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening FZB files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening FZBs. These issues include:
- FZB file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- The FZB file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Invalid installation of a FZB-associated program (eg. Awave Studio)
- File corruption affecting your FZB file
- Your FZB is infected with malware
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your FZB file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your Casio FZ-1 Bank Dump file
