Programs to open NPP file
Remember to download programs supporting NPP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Art Explosion with NPP files
If, despite the installed application, the NPP file does not start in the Art Explosion 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Art Explosion application as the default for handling the NPP file.
Step 3. Update Art Explosion to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Art Explosion program, it is possible that Art Explosion Publisher Pro Document requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nova Development Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NPP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NPP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NPP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NPP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NPP 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 NPP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nova Development, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NPP 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. It is best to move NPP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NPP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NPP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NPP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
