How to open NRB file?
The most common problem when using Nero CD-ROM Boot Compilation is that a specific NRB is not associated with the program. This causes the file NRB 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 NRB 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 Nero Multimedia Suite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nero Multimedia Suite is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nero Multimedia Suite into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NRB files.
Programs to open NRB file
Remember to download programs supporting NRB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with NRB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NRB file still does not use the Nero Multimedia Suite program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Nero Multimedia Suite application as the default for handling the NRB file.
Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Nero Multimedia Suite program with the Nero CD-ROM Boot Compilation file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Nero AG page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NRB 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:
The NRB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NRB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NRB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected NRB 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 NRB 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NRB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nero help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NRB 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. Copying the NRB file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NRB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NRB file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
