Troubleshooting Problems Opening NCO Files


Typical NCO Opening Challenges

Nero Backitup Not Present

Double-clicking your NCO file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open NCO File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Nero Backitup installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your NCO file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


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


Wrong Version of Nero Backitup is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Nero BackItUp File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Nero Backitup if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Nero BackItUp File file was created by a different (newer) version of Nero Backitup than what's installed.


Tip: Investigate your NCO file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening NCO files are due to having the wrong version of Nero Backitup installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading NCO Files

Even with the correct version of Nero Backitup installed, you can still experience difficulties opening NCOs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening NCOs. Additional factors include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for NCO
  • Corruption of the NCO file description inside the Registry
  • Nero Backitup or another NCO application experienced a flawed installation
  • Your NCO can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • The NCO is infected with a virus
  • Hardware related to NCOs has device driver corruption
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Nero BackItUp File file
