The Windows Media Player application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open NSC file?
The most common problem when using Windows Media Station is that a specific NSC is not associated with the program. This causes the file NSC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NSC 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 Windows Media Player
The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Media Player program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Windows Media Player in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file NSC.
Programs to open NSC file
Remember to download programs supporting NSC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Media Player with NSC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NSC file to open in the Windows Media Player 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NSC file with the Windows Media Player program.
Step 3. Update Windows Media Player to the latest version
If, however, after binding Windows Media Player with Windows Media Station there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NSC 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. Usually this applies to NSC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NSC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NSC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NSC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NSC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NSC 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.
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 NSC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 NSC to close. However, some background programs may block the NSC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
