Step 2. Create association of Nokia Series 40 Theme Studio with NTH files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NTH file still does not use the Nokia Series 40 Theme Studio program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here.

Step 3. Update Nokia Series 40 Theme Studio to the latest version

If, however, after binding Nokia Series 40 Theme Studio with Nokia Series 40 Theme Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The NTH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NTH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NTH or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NTH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NTH 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.
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 NTH files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NTH 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 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 NTH file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NTH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NTH file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
