How to open BNX file?

The main problem with Board Neutral Exchange Data Format is that the BNX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BNX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BNX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install NotePad++ text editor

In this case, you should first verify that the NotePad++ text editor application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name NotePad++ text editor in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BNX with NotePad++ text editor. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BNX files.

Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with BNX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BNX file still does not use the NotePad++ text editor program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NotePad++ text editor application as the default for handling the BNX file.

Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the NotePad++ text editor program, it is possible that Board Neutral Exchange Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Notepad++ Team website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BNX file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The BNX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BNX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BNX file. However, remember that not every infected BNX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BNX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BNX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BNX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BNX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BNX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BNX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BNX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
