What is CNI file?

The CNI file has been categorized as 3D Image Files. The creator of this file is Center for Comparative NeuroImaging. 3D Image Files consists of 622 similar files.

It was released by Center for Comparative NeuroImaging.

How to open CNI file?

An often recurring problem with CWBench is that CNI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CNI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CNI 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 CWBench

In this case, you should first verify that the CWBench application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CWBench in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CNI with CWBench. Below is a list of programs that support the file CNI.

Programs to open CNI file

Remember to download programs supporting CNI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of CWBench with CNI files

If, despite the installed application, the CNI file does not start in the CWBench application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 CWBench application as the default for handling the CNI file.

Step 3. Update CWBench to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the CWBench program, it is possible that CWBench requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Center for Comparative NeuroImaging page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CNI 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CNI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CNI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CNI 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CNI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Center for Comparative NeuroImaging help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CNI 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. Copying the CNI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CNI to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
