The NFP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the NFP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the NFP file on each system platform.
What is NFP file?
The file in the NFP format belongs to the Archive Files category. Archive Files consists of 619 similar files. Archive 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 WinRAR to handle this file. This is a program created by win.rar GmbH.
How to open NFP file?
An often recurring problem with Archive is that NFP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NFP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NFP 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 WinRAR
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinRAR is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinRAR into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NFP files.
Programs to open NFP file
Remember to download programs supporting NFP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with NFP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NFP file still does not use the WinRAR program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 NFP file with the WinRAR program.
Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinRAR with Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the win.rar GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NFP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 NFP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NFP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NFP 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 NFP 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NFP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NFP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the NFP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NFP 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 NFP file again. However, some background programs may block the NFP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
