What is NAB file?
The file in the NAB format belongs to the Misc Files category. The creator of this file is AOL Inc.. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Netscape Communicator Addressbook appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Netscape Navigator. This was created by AOL Inc..
How to open NAB file?
The most common problem when using Netscape Communicator Addressbook is that a specific NAB is not associated with the program. This causes the file NAB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NAB 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NAB with Netscape Navigator. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NAB files.
Programs to open NAB file
Remember to download programs supporting NAB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Netscape Navigator with NAB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NAB file still does not use the Netscape Navigator program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NAB file with the Netscape Navigator program.
Step 3. Update Netscape Navigator to the latest version
If, however, after binding Netscape Navigator with Netscape Communicator Addressbook there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the AOL Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NAB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NAB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 NAB file. However, remember that not every infected NAB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NAB files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NAB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact AOL Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NAB 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the NAB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NAB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NAB file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
