You may observed that the longer you have your laptop, the more sluggish the system processes the programs. Mainly, the reason to this problem is in the registry that builds up over time as you installed and uninstalled programs. Over time the registry starts to get bogged down and conflicts come out that will result to unstable system.

Same as what I had experienced last night, I encountered File Extension DB error while running MS Access in my laptop. If you came across with the same problem, the easy solution is to scan your registry to check for errors and conflicts. You can download and run the Drivers Detective software for free to solve this problem.

The File Extension DB is an acronym for database. Your .DB files may be a generic database files that stores information in a structured format and may be created by a different database programs. As these files could be created by several applications, the real format of the file may differs.

The other common use of File Extension DB is in Windows XP, where it refers to a thumbnail image database (Thumbs.db). This file is automatically generated by Windows XP when you view the contents of the folder in “Thumbnail”.
