How to open NZL file?

An often recurring problem with Corel Painter Nozzle is that NZL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NZL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NZL 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 Corel Painter

The first step is to check if the computer has the Corel Painter program installed. This can be achieved by typing Corel Painter into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NZL files.

Step 2. Create association of Corel Painter with NZL files

If, despite the installed application, the NZL file does not start in the Corel Painter 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 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Corel Painter application as the default for handling the NZL file.

Step 3. Update Corel Painter to the latest version

If, however, after binding Corel Painter with Corel Painter Nozzle there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NZL 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NZL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NZL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected NZL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NZL file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NZL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NZL 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. It is best to move NZL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NZL file again. However, some background programs may block the NZL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
