How to open NPF file?
An often recurring problem with NTI Partition Format is that NPF is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NPF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NPF 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 NTI Backup Now
The first step is to check if the computer has the NTI Backup Now program installed. This can be achieved by typing NTI Backup Now into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support NPF files.
Programs to open NPF file
Remember to download programs supporting NPF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NTI Backup Now with NPF files
If, despite the installed application, the NPF file does not start in the NTI Backup Now 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 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. 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 NTI Backup Now application as the default for handling the NPF file.
Step 3. Update NTI Backup Now to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NTI Backup Now program with the NTI Partition Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the NTI Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NPF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The NPF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NPF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NPF file. Sometimes virus-infected NPF 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 NPF 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NPF files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact NTI
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NPF 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NPF file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NPF file again. However, some background programs may block the NPF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
