The main program that supports this format is NeXTSTEP. This was created by Next, Inc..
How to open NXT file?
An often recurring problem with NeXT Sound is that NXT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NXT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NXT 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 NeXTSTEP
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NeXTSTEP is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing NeXTSTEP into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NXT with NeXTSTEP. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NXT files.
Programs to open NXT file
Remember to download programs supporting NXT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NeXTSTEP with NXT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NXT file to open in the NeXTSTEP application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NXT file with the NeXTSTEP program.
Step 3. Update NeXTSTEP to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NeXTSTEP program, it is possible that NeXT Sound requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Next, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NXT 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:
The NXT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NXT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NXT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected NXT 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 NXT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NXT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Next, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NXT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the NXT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NXT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NXT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
