Troubles Opening MBB Files
Missing Kodak EasyShare
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open MBB Files" when trying to open your MBB. Customarily, this means that Kodak EasyShare is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your MBB with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you don't have Kodak EasyShare installed, and you know of another program to open your MBB file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Kodak EasyShare Requires Update
It is possible that your version of Kodak EasyShare isn't able to open your Kodak EasyShare Data File file due to incompatibility. Visit the Kodak website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Kodak EasyShare. Most of the time your Kodak EasyShare Data File file was created by a newer Kodak EasyShare than what you have installed.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of MBB file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Conclusion: The majority of MBB file opening issues are due to not having the correct Kodak EasyShare version installed.

Quiz: Which of these is considered a vector image file?
That's Correct!
