How to open DBNW file?
The most common problem when using Netscape News is that a specific DBNW is not associated with the program. This causes the file DBNW 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 DBNW 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 Netscape Navigator
In this case, you should first verify that the Netscape Navigator application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Netscape Navigator in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DBNW with Netscape Navigator. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DBNW files.
Programs to open DBNW file
Remember to download programs supporting DBNW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Netscape Navigator with DBNW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DBNW file to open in the Netscape Navigator application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DBNW file with the Netscape Navigator program.
Step 3. Update Netscape Navigator to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Netscape Navigator program, it is possible that Netscape News requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the AOL Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DBNW file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DBNW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DBNW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DBNW file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DBNW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DBNW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DBNW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact AOL Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DBNW 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DBNW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DBNW 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 DBNW to close. However, some background programs may block the DBNW file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
