How to open NW3 file?

Step 2. Create association of Novell NetWare with NW3 files

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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 NW3 file with the Novell NetWare application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NW3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The NW3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NW3 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NW3 file. Sometimes virus-infected NW3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NW3 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NW3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Novell, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NW3 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. If possible, you can try to move the NW3 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NW3 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
