How to open NLF file?

The main problem with ClickTracks Normalized Log Format is that the NLF file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NLF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NLF 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.

Programs to open NLF file

Remember to download programs supporting NLF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ClickTracks with NLF files

If, despite the installed application, the NLF file does not start in the ClickTracks application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NLF file with the ClickTracks program.

Step 3. Update ClickTracks to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ClickTracks program, it is possible that ClickTracks Normalized Log Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Lyris HQ website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NLF file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NLF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 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 NLF or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NLF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NLF 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NLF files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NLF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the NLF file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NLF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NLF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
