DBK File Complications


Common Problems Opening DBK Files

WinRAR Disappeared

When you double-click your DBK file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to WinRAR missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your DBK with WinRAR, so double-clicking the file won't work.


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


WinRAR is Out-of-Date

Sometimes your installed version of WinRAR won't support your Sony Ericsson Mobile Phone Backup File file. If you do not have the proper version WinRAR (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your Sony Ericsson Mobile Phone Backup File file was probably created by a newer release of WinRAR than what's currently installed your computer.


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


Conclusion: The majority of DBK file opening issues are due to not having the correct WinRAR version installed.


Other DBK File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of WinRAR will resolve your issue. If you are still having problems opening DBK files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Other contributing causes:

  • Windows Registry DBK file paths that are incorrect
  • Deletion of the DBK file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the DBK format
  • The DBK itself is corrupted
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your DBK
  • Hardware associated with DBK has outdated drivers
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open Sony Ericsson Mobile Phone Backup File files
