Understanding RBK Issues


Common Problems Opening RBK Files

PC Tools Registry Mechanic Isn't There

You attempt to load your RBK file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The RBK File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to PC Tools Registry Mechanic missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your RBK file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When another RBK application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Obsolete Version of PC Tools Registry Mechanic

It is possible that your version of PC Tools Registry Mechanic isn't able to open your Windows 95 Registry Backup File file due to incompatibility. Visit the Symantec Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of PC Tools Registry Mechanic. The primary cause of this problem is that your Windows 95 Registry Backup File file was created by a different (newer) version of PC Tools Registry Mechanic than what's installed.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your RBK file and clicking "Properties".


Regardless, most of the RBK file opening problems relate to not having the right version of PC Tools Registry Mechanic installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening RBKs

You can still experience errors opening RBK files even with the latest version of PC Tools Registry Mechanic installed on your PC. If you are continuing to have errors with loading RBK files, other external issues might be to blame. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for RBK are wrong
  • Deletion of the RBK file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Partial installation of PC Tools Registry Mechanic that did not fully complete
  • Your RBK can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • The RBK is infected with a virus
  • Hardware associated with RBK has outdated drivers
