How to open BSK file?
An often recurring problem with Nero SecurDisc Private Key Format is that BSK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BSK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BSK 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 Nero Multimedia Suite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nero Multimedia Suite is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nero Multimedia Suite into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BSK files.
Programs to open BSK file
Remember to download programs supporting BSK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with BSK files
If, despite the installed application, the BSK file does not start in the Nero Multimedia Suite application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Nero Multimedia Suite application as the default for handling the BSK file.
Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version
If, however, after binding Nero Multimedia Suite with Nero SecurDisc Private Key Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nero AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BSK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The BSK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BSK file contents when downloading or copying. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BSK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BSK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BSK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BSK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nero help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BSK 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BSK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BSK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BSK to close. However, some background programs may block the BSK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
