How to open NOV file?
An often recurring problem with NI Battery Cache is that NOV is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open NOV, 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 NOV 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 Battery
The first step is to check if the computer has the Battery program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Battery in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NOV files.
Programs to open NOV file
Remember to download programs supporting NOV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Battery with NOV files
If, despite the installed application, the NOV file does not start in the Battery 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NOV file with the Battery application.
Step 3. Update Battery to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Battery program, it is possible that NI Battery Cache requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Native Instruments, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NOV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NOV file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NOV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NOV 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 NOV 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NOV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Native Instruments, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NOV 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the NOV file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NOV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NOV file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
