How to open NAP file?
The most common problem when using NAPLPS Vector Image Metafile is that a specific NAP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NAP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NAP 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 CorelDRAW
In this case, you should first verify that the CorelDRAW application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CorelDRAW into the operating system search engine. 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 NAP.
Programs to open NAP file
Remember to download programs supporting NAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with NAP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NAP file to open in the CorelDRAW 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CorelDRAW application as the default for handling the NAP file.
Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CorelDRAW program with the NAPLPS Vector Image Metafile 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 Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NAP 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:
The NAP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NAP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NAP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NAP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NAP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NAP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NAP 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 NAP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NAP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NAP file again. However, some background programs may block the NAP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
