You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .mbd. Files with the file extension .mbd can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .mbd files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .mbd file?
The files created by Multimedia Builder are known as MBD files as they are used as Multimedia Builder Project Files developed by Mediachance. These files fall under the data file category and they serve as storage for the user interface design and the functions of the program. These files are also useful to autorun CD interfaces as well as in performing playbacks for small games and other multimedia applications. Compiling MBD files to standalone executables is possible as well as burning these files into a CD. Most of the time, an Autorun.ini file accompanies this application and they are also burned to the CD wherein they are used to specify that the application will start automatically once there is a disc inserted into the drive. MBD files used by Multimedia Builder are also known as files used to author mp3 audio files. MBD files can be opened using the MediaChance Multimedia Builder software, a program that quickly and easily allows users to build autorun presentations and menus.

MediaChance Multimedia Builder
MediaChance Multimedia Builder
The Multimedia Builder or MMB was developed by Media Chance as a desktop tool for designing splash menus, multimedia apps, and mini games. This click-to-create software doesn't require any programming skills in its users. Its graphics editor has a WYSIWYG design with identifiable icons in floating and dockable menus for applying filters, adding special effects, formatting colors and text, and blending masks on images. The program saves, exports, and imports its output into JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, and other popular file types. Plus, it's already compatible with Macromedia Fireworks, which also generates images in the PNG format. Users can create buttons, banners, videos, and animation from scratch and insert clipart graphics, MP3 and MIDI music, and custom text into their work. Videos can be played at any speed directly inside the program and images from other applications may be copied and pasted directly onto the editor.a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .mbd files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .mbd. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
