Sources of MRB Problems

Troubles Opening MRB Files

Microsoft Visual C++ Removed

When you double-click your MRB file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Visual C++ is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your MRB with Microsoft Visual C++, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens MRB files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Incorrect Microsoft Visual C++ Version

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Visual C++ won't support your Multiple Resolution Bitmap File file. Download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Multiple Resolution Bitmap File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Visual C++ than what's installed.

Tip: Investigate your MRB file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening MRB files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
