The NNTP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the NNTP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the NNTP file on each system platform.
What is NNTP file?
The file with the extension NNTP is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Simon Fraser. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. NewsWatcher appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Mac OS, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is NewsWatcher. This was created by Simon Fraser.
How to open NNTP file?
An often recurring problem with NewsWatcher is that NNTP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NNTP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NNTP 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 NewsWatcher
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NewsWatcher is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing NewsWatcher into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file NNTP.
Programs to open NNTP file
Remember to download programs supporting NNTP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NewsWatcher with NNTP files
If, despite the installed application, the NNTP file does not start in the NewsWatcher application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NewsWatcher application as the default for handling the NNTP file.
Step 3. Update NewsWatcher to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NewsWatcher program with the NewsWatcher file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Simon Fraser website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NNTP 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 NNTP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NNTP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 NNTP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NNTP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NNTP files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NNTP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Simon Fraser help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NNTP 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.
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. Copying the NNTP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
