Troubleshoot MBN Files
Frequent MBN Opening Issues
Google Android Not Present
When trying to open your MBN file, you get the error "Can't Open MBN File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Google Android isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your MBN because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: Another MBN-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Outdated Google Android
Sometimes your installed version of Google Android won't support your Multi Boot Image file. You will need to download a newer version of Google Android if you don't have the right version. This issue mainly occurs when your Multi Boot Image file was created by a newer version of Google Android than you have on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your MBN file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Summary: Not having the right Google Android version on your computer can cause problems opening MBN files.
Other MBN File Issues
Although you might already have Google Android or another MBN-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Multi Boot Image files. If you are still having problems opening MBN files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Other contributing causes:
- File references in the Windows Registry for MBN are wrong
- Unintentional removal of the description of the MBN file inside the Windows Registry
- Defective install of a MBN program, such as Google Android
- Your MBN file is corrupted (issues with your Multi Boot Image file itself)
- Your MBN is infected with malware
- Hardware associated with MBN has outdated drivers
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Multi Boot Image format
