How to open NCV file?

An often recurring problem with Nikon Capture Curves is that NCV is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NCV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NCV 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 Nikon Capture

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NCV with Nikon Capture. Below is a list of programs that support the file NCV.

Programs to open NCV file

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

Step 2. Create association of Nikon Capture with NCV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NCV file to open in the Nikon Capture application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NCV file with the Nikon Capture program.

Step 3. Update Nikon Capture to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nikon Capture program with the Nikon Capture Curves file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NCV 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. Usually this applies to NCV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 NCV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NCV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NCV file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NCV file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NCV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move NCV 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NCV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NCV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
