The NBP file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the NBP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the NBP file on each system platform.
What is NBP file?
The file in the NBP format belongs to the Data Files category. It was designed by Wolfram Research. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. Mathematica Player Notebook Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The CDF Player application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Wolfram Research, Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. You can use Mathematica, DF Player in case CDF Player cannot be used.
How to open NBP file?
The main problem with Mathematica Player Notebook Format is that the NBP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file NBP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NBP 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 CDF Player
The first step is to check if the computer has the CDF Player program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CDF Player in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NBP files.
Programs to open NBP file
Remember to download programs supporting NBP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CDF Player with NBP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NBP file to open in the CDF Player application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NBP file with the CDF Player application.
Step 3. Update CDF Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CDF Player program, it is possible that Mathematica Player Notebook Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Wolfram Research, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NBP 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. This suggests truncating the NBP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NBP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NBP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NBP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
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 NBP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Wolfram Research help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NBP 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move NBP to a different directory.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NBP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NBP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
