How to open NW4 file?
An often recurring problem with Netware.4x is that NW4 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NW4 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NW4 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 Novell NetWare
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Novell NetWare is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Novell NetWare into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NW4 files.
Programs to open NW4 file
Remember to download programs supporting NW4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Novell NetWare with NW4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NW4 file still does not use the Novell NetWare program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NW4 file with the Novell NetWare program.
Step 3. Update Novell NetWare to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Novell NetWare program with the Netware.4x file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Novell, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NW4 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NW4 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NW4 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NW4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NW4 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NW4 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Novell, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NW4 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 NW4 to a different directory.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NW4 file again. However, some background programs may block the NW4 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
