How to open NFC file?
The most common problem when using Nokia Phone Backup Copy Format is that a specific NFC is not associated with the program. This causes the file NFC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NFC 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 NbuExplorer
The first step is to check if the computer has the Nokia NbuExplorer program installed. To do this, enter the name Nokia NbuExplorer 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 NFC with Nokia NbuExplorer. Below you will find a list of applications that support NFC files.
Programs to open NFC file
Remember to download programs supporting NFC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nokia NbuExplorer with NFC files
If, despite the installed application, the NFC file does not start in the Nokia NbuExplorer 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NFC file with the Nokia NbuExplorer program.
Step 3. Update Nokia NbuExplorer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Nokia NbuExplorer program, it is possible that Nokia Phone Backup Copy Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the petrusek website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NFC 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 NFC file contents when downloading or copying. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NFC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NFC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NFC file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 NFC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nokia help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NFC 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the NFC file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NFC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
