How to open NDU file?
The most common problem when using Symbian Phone Backup is that a specific NDU is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that NDU files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NDU 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 Nokia Suite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nokia Suite is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nokia Suite into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NDU with Nokia Suite. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NDU files.
Programs to open NDU file
Remember to download programs supporting NDU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nokia Suite with NDU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NDU file to open in the Nokia Suite 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NDU file with the Nokia Suite program.
Step 3. Update Nokia Suite to the latest version
If, however, after binding Nokia Suite with Symbian Phone Backup there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nokia Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NDU file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to NDU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NDU file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NDU file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NDU 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NDU file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NDU 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the NDU file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NDU 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 NDU file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NDU file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
