How to open NCT file?
The main problem with Nero CoverDesigner Template is that the NCT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file NCT 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 NCT 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 Nero Multimedia Suite
In this case, you should first verify that the Nero Multimedia Suite application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Nero Multimedia Suite in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support NCT files.
Programs to open NCT file
Remember to download programs supporting NCT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with NCT files
If, despite the installed application, the NCT file does not start in the Nero Multimedia Suite application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NCT file with the Nero Multimedia Suite application.
Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Nero Multimedia Suite program with the Nero CoverDesigner Template 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 Nero AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NCT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NCT 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NCT file. Sometimes virus-infected NCT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NCT 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NCT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nero, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NCT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the NCT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NCT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NCT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
