The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NQA 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 NQuery Advisor
The first step is to check if the computer has the NQuery Advisor program installed. To do this, enter the name NQuery Advisor into the system search engine.

Programs to open NQA file
Remember to download programs supporting NQA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NQuery Advisor with NQA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NQA file to open in the NQuery Advisor application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 NQuery Advisor application as the default for handling the NQA file.
Step 3. Update NQuery Advisor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NQuery Advisor program, it is possible that NQuery Advisor Data requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the STATCON page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NQA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NQA 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. 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 NQA or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected NQA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NQA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NQA files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting STATCON, 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 NQA 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the NQA file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NQA file again. However, some background programs may block the NQA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
