Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NR4 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NR4 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NR4 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NR4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NR4 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 ability to automatically repair NR4 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nero AG help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NR4 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the NR4 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NR4 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 NR4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NR4 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
