Step 2. Create association of Creator NXT Pro with PHOTOSHOW files

If, despite the installed application, the PHOTOSHOW file does not start in the Creator NXT Pro application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PHOTOSHOW file with the Creator NXT Pro application.

Step 3. Update Creator NXT Pro to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PHOTOSHOW file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PHOTOSHOW 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 PHOTOSHOW file. Sometimes virus-infected PHOTOSHOW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PHOTOSHOW 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PHOTOSHOW file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PHOTOSHOW 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PHOTOSHOW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PHOTOSHOW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
