Step 2. Create association of Nokia PC Suite with NGAGE files

The NGAGE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NGAGE 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NGAGE file. However, remember that not every infected NGAGE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NGAGE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NGAGE files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NGAGE 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the NGAGE file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NGAGE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NGAGE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
