How to open NY file?

The main problem with Audacity Nyquist Plug-in is that the NY file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NY, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NY 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 Audacity

In this case, you should first verify that the Audacity application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Audacity in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file NY.

Programs to open NY file

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

Step 2. Create association of Audacity with NY files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NY file to open in the Audacity application, but you can set it manually. 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NY file with the Audacity program.

Step 3. Update Audacity to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Audacity program with the Audacity Nyquist Plug-in file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Audacity website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NY 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the NY file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 NY or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NY file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NY file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Nyquist
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NY 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NY file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NY file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NY file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
