How to open NM5 file?
An often recurring problem with NovaMind Mind Map is that NM5 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open NM5, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NM5 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 NovaMind
The first step is to check if the computer has the NovaMind program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name NovaMind in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NM5 with NovaMind. Below is a list of programs that support the file NM5.
Programs to open NM5 file
Remember to download programs supporting NM5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NovaMind with NM5 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NM5 file still does not use the NovaMind 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NovaMind application as the default for handling the NM5 file.
Step 3. Update NovaMind to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NovaMind program, it is possible that NovaMind Mind Map requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nova Mind Software Pty Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NM5 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NM5 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 NM5 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NM5 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NM5 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NM5 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nova Mind Software Pty Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NM5 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. Copying the NM5 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NM5 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
