How to open N3A file?
The most common problem when using Nokia 3D Screensaver Format is that a specific N3A is not associated with the program. This causes the file N3A to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the N3A 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 Panasonic Security Viewer
In this case, you should first verify that the Panasonic Security Viewer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Panasonic Security Viewer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file N3A.
Programs to open N3A file
Remember to download programs supporting N3A files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Panasonic Security Viewer with N3A files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the N3A file to open in the Panasonic Security Viewer 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 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. 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 N3A file with the Panasonic Security Viewer program.
Step 3. Update Panasonic Security Viewer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Panasonic Security Viewer program with the Nokia 3D Screensaver Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Panasonic Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the N3A 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to N3A 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the N3A file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected N3A files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the N3A 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair N3A file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 N3A 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. Copying the N3A file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the N3A file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
