How to open NTW file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NTW 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.

Programs to open NTW file

Remember to download programs supporting NTW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NoteWorthy Composer with NTW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NTW file still does not use the NoteWorthy Composer program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NoteWorthy Composer application as the default for handling the NTW file.

Step 3. Update NoteWorthy Composer to the latest version

If, however, after binding NoteWorthy Composer with Noteworthy Composer Song 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 Noteworthy Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The NTW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NTW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NTW file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NTW 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 NTW files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NTW files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Noteworthy Software, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NTW 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move NTW to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NTW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NTW file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
