How to open JNT file?
The most common problem when using Windows Journal Format is that a specific JNT is not associated with the program. This causes the file JNT 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 JNT 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 Windows Journal
In this case, you should first verify that the Windows Journal application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Windows Journal into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file JNT.
Programs to open JNT file
Remember to download programs supporting JNT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Journal with JNT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JNT file to open in the Windows Journal application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Windows Journal application as the default for handling the JNT file.
Step 3. Update Windows Journal to the latest version
If, however, after binding Windows Journal with Windows Journal Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JNT 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:
The JNT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to JNT 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JNT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JNT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JNT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 JNT file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JNT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the JNT 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JNT file again. However, some background programs may block the JNT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
