NSG File Complications


Frequent NSG Opening Issues

IBM Lotus Notes Not Present

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open NSG Files" when trying to open your NSG. If so, it typically means that you don't have IBM Lotus Notes installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your NSG with IBM Lotus Notes, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your NSG file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


IBM Lotus Notes is Out-of-Date

Your Lotus Notes Database file is incompatible with IBM Lotus Notes because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of IBM Lotus Notes from IBM is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your Lotus Notes Database file was created by a different (newer) version of IBM Lotus Notes than what's installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the NSG file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Summary: Not having the right IBM Lotus Notes version on your computer can cause problems opening NSG files.


Associated Difficulties Loading NSG Files

Even with the correct version of IBM Lotus Notes installed, you can still experience difficulties opening NSGs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening NSGs. Other contributing causes:

  • NSG file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the NSG file inside the Windows Registry
  • Invalid installation of a NSG-associated program (eg. IBM Lotus Notes)
  • Something has caused file corruption of your NSG
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your NSG
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your NSG file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Lotus Notes Database file
