Bad File Format: bad initial token

This error message typically appears when a file is being opened or accessed in a program that does not support the file format or when the file is corrupted. The "bad initial token" refers to the first few characters in the file that indicate the file type or format, and if those characters are incorrect, the program cannot interpret the file correctly.

To fix this issue, you can try opening the file in a different program that supports the file format or try to repair the file if it is corrupted. In some cases, renaming the file extension to a known format may also work. If none of these solutions work, it may be necessary to obtain a new, uncorrupted version of the file.
