Programs to open NDP file

Step 2. Create association of Nick-O-Matic Design Factory with NDP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NDP file to open in the Nick-O-Matic Design Factory 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 NDP file with the Nick-O-Matic Design Factory application.

The fault may also lie with the Nick-O-Matic Design Factory program, it is possible that Nick-O-Matic Design Factory Project requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Br?derbund Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NDP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The NDP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NDP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NDP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NDP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NDP files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NDP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Brøderbund Software, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NDP 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NDP to a different directory.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NDP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
