Remember to download programs supporting N-GAGE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nokia Application Installer with N-GAGE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the N-GAGE file still does not use the Nokia Application Installer program, it means no 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to N-GAGE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our N-GAGE file. Sometimes virus-infected N-GAGE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the N-GAGE file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair N-GAGE file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted N-GAGE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move N-GAGE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the N-GAGE 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 N-GAGE to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
