How to open NP file?
An often recurring problem with Portfolio NetPublish Format is that NP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open NP, 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 NP 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 NetPublish
In this case, you should first verify that the NetPublish application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NetPublish into the system search engine. 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 NP files.
Programs to open NP file
Remember to download programs supporting NP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NetPublish with NP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NP file to open in the NetPublish application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NetPublish application as the default for handling the NP file.
Step 3. Update NetPublish to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NetPublish program with the Portfolio NetPublish Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NP file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NP files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move NP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NP 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 NP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
