How to open NEC file?
The most common problem when using NEC JIS Encoded Data Format is that a specific NEC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NEC, 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 NEC 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 EZNEC
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that EZNEC is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name EZNEC in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file NEC.
Programs to open NEC file
Remember to download programs supporting NEC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EZNEC with NEC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NEC file still does not use the EZNEC program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 EZNEC application as the default for handling the NEC file.
Step 3. Update EZNEC to the latest version
If, however, after binding EZNEC with NEC JIS Encoded Data 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 W7EL page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NEC 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 NEC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NEC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NEC 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 NEC 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NEC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NEC 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. 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 NEC file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NEC to close. However, some background programs may block the NEC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
