Tips to open NDPR file
Can't open the NDPR file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open NDPR files as well as a list of programs that support NDPR files.
NDPR file extension
The NDPR file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the NDPR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the NDPR file on each system platform.
What is NDPR file?
The file in the NDPR format belongs to the Raster Image Files category. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. NanoZoomer Digital Pathology Image Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use SimplePCI to handle this file. This is a program created by Hamamatsu Photonics.
How to open NDPR file?
An often recurring problem with NanoZoomer Digital Pathology Image Format is that NDPR is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NDPR 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 NDPR 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 SimplePCI
In this case, you should first verify that the SimplePCI application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SimplePCI into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NDPR with SimplePCI. Below is a list of programs that support the file NDPR.
Programs to open NDPR file
Remember to download programs supporting NDPR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SimplePCI with NDPR files
If, despite the installed application, the NDPR file does not start in the SimplePCI application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SimplePCI application as the default for handling the NDPR file.
Step 3. Update SimplePCI to the latest version
If, however, after binding SimplePCI with NanoZoomer Digital Pathology Image Format 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 Hamamatsu Photonics page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NDPR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NDPR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 NDPR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NDPR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NDPR files changes over time. 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 NDPR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NDPR 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. If possible, you can try to move the NDPR file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NDPR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NDPR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NDPR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
