How to open NCSS file?

An often recurring problem with NCSS Data is that NCSS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NCSS 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 NCSS 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 NCSS

The first step is to check if the computer has the NCSS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name NCSS in it.

Programs to open NCSS file

Remember to download programs supporting NCSS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NCSS with NCSS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NCSS file still does not use the NCSS program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NCSS file with the NCSS application.

Step 3. Update NCSS to the latest version

If, however, after binding NCSS with NCSS Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the NCSS page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NCSS 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NCSS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NCSS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NCSS 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 NCSS 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NCSS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use NCSS help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NCSS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the NCSS file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NCSS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
