How to open NPM file?
The main problem with CorelDRAW 10 Draw Media Lines is that the NPM file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NPM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NPM 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 CorelDRAW
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CorelDRAW is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CorelDRAW into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file NPM.
Programs to open NPM file
Remember to download programs supporting NPM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with NPM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NPM file to open in the CorelDRAW application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 CorelDRAW application as the default for handling the NPM file.
Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CorelDRAW program, it is possible that CorelDRAW 10 Draw Media Lines requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NPM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to NPM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NPM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NPM 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 NPM file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NPM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NPM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NPM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NPM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NPM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NPM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
