How to open NV2 file?

The main problem with NewViews 2 Database Format is that the NV2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NV2, 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 NV2 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 NewViews

In this case, you should first verify that the NewViews application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NewViews into the system search engine.

Programs to open NV2 file

Remember to download programs supporting NV2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NewViews with NV2 files

If, despite the installed application, the NV2 file does not start in the NewViews 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NewViews application as the default for handling the NV2 file.

Step 3. Update NewViews to the latest version

If, despite the association of the NewViews program with the NewViews 2 Database Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Q.W. Page Associates Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NV2 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to NV2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NV2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NV2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NV2 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NV2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Q.W. Page Associates, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NV2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the NV2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NV2 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.
