Step 2. Create association of SoftICE with NMS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NMS file still does not use the SoftICE program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu.

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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NMS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NMS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.

This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NMS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NMS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
