How to open NDV file?
The most common problem when using ENVI N-D Visualizer State is that a specific NDV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NDV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NDV 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 ENVI
The first step is to check if the computer has the ENVI program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ENVI in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NDV with ENVI. Below is a list of programs that support the file NDV.
Programs to open NDV file
Remember to download programs supporting NDV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ENVI with NDV files
If, despite the installed application, the NDV file does not start in the ENVI application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ENVI application as the default for handling the NDV file.
Step 3. Update ENVI to the latest version
If, however, after binding ENVI with ENVI N-D Visualizer State there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Exelis Visual Information Solutions website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NDV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the NDV file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 NDV file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NDV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NDV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 option of recovering data from damaged NDV files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Exelis Visual Information Solutions, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NDV 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. It is best to move NDV to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NDV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NDV file again. However, some background programs may block the NDV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
