How to open MOSS file?
The main problem with Netscape Navigator For Mac HTML is that the MOSS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MOSS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MOSS 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Netscape Navigator is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Netscape Navigator into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support MOSS files.
Programs to open MOSS file
Remember to download programs supporting MOSS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Netscape Navigator with MOSS files
If, despite the installed application, the MOSS file does not start in the Netscape Navigator application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Netscape Navigator application as the default for handling the MOSS file.
Step 3. Update Netscape Navigator to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Netscape Navigator program with the Netscape Navigator For Mac HTML file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the AOL Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MOSS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MOSS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MOSS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MOSS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MOSS file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MOSS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting AOL Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MOSS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MOSS file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MOSS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MOSS file again. However, some background programs may block the MOSS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
