Can't open the NLM file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open NLM files as well as a list of programs that support NLM files.
NLM file extension
The NLM file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the NLM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the NLM file on each system platform.
What is NLM file?
The file with the extension NLM is the Raster Image Files file type. The creator of this file is Nokia. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. Nokia Logo Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The LogoManager Classic application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Mike Bradley. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the NLM file. You can use XnView, IrfanView in case LogoManager Classic cannot be used.
How to open NLM file?
An often recurring problem with Nokia Logo Format is that NLM is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NLM 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 NLM 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 LogoManager Classic
In this case, you should first verify that the LogoManager Classic application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LogoManager Classic into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NLM with LogoManager Classic. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NLM files.
Programs to open NLM file
Remember to download programs supporting NLM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LogoManager Classic with NLM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NLM file still does not use the LogoManager Classic program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 NLM file with the LogoManager Classic program.
Step 3. Update LogoManager Classic to the latest version
If, however, after binding LogoManager Classic with Nokia Logo Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Mike Bradley website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NLM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The NLM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NLM 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NLM file. However, remember that not every infected NLM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NLM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NLM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nokia, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NLM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the NLM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NLM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NLM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
