Notes about the XDB file extension:



Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The XDB file type is primarily associated with 'HyperCD' by John Galt Media, Inc.. HyperCD is a brand name that describes a way of removing a small slice of data from a digital file such that the file is made unreadable. Some have invented the word "encrippling" to describe this process. Only when the encrippled file on a computer is linked with the missing piece of data on a Web site can the user view the content. Often a CD will be issued in this format, forcing the user to the maker's site before they can view whatever is on the CD.
