How to open NSD file?
An often recurring problem with Norton System Doctor Sensor Configuration is that NSD is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open NSD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NSD 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 Norton SystemWorks
In this case, you should first verify that the Norton SystemWorks application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Norton SystemWorks in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NSD files.
Programs to open NSD file
Remember to download programs supporting NSD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton SystemWorks with NSD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NSD file still does not use the Norton SystemWorks program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NSD file with the Norton SystemWorks application.
Step 3. Update Norton SystemWorks to the latest version
If, however, after binding Norton SystemWorks with Norton System Doctor Sensor Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NSD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 NSD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NSD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NSD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NSD files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 NSD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Symantec Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NSD 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. Copying the NSD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NSD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
