What is NSS file?
The file in the NSS format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by IncrediMail. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Magentic Screensaver Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is IncrediMail. This was created by Perion Network Ltd.. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the NSS file. Magentic will apply when it is not possible to use IncrediMail.
How to open NSS file?
An often recurring problem with Magentic Screensaver Format is that NSS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open NSS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NSS 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 IncrediMail
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IncrediMail is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name IncrediMail into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NSS with IncrediMail. Below is a list of programs that support the file NSS.
Programs to open NSS file
Remember to download programs supporting NSS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IncrediMail with NSS files
If, despite the installed application, the NSS file does not start in the IncrediMail application, you must create a file 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 select the desired program. 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 IncrediMail application as the default for handling the NSS file.
Step 3. Update IncrediMail to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IncrediMail program, it is possible that Magentic Screensaver Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Perion Network Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NSS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The NSS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NSS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NSS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NSS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NSS 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NSS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use IncrediMail help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NSS 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. It is best to move NSS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NSS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NSS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
