Understanding NRM Issues
Frequent NRM Opening Issues
Nero 2018 Removed
Double-clicking your NRM file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open NRM File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Nero 2018 isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your NRM file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Outdated Nero 2018
Your Nero Mixed Mode CD Compilation file is incompatible with Nero 2018 because you might have the wrong version installed. If you do not have the proper version Nero 2018 (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the NRM file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening NRM files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Other NRM File Opening Causes
Errors opening Nero Mixed Mode CD Compilation files can still occur even with the latest Nero 2018 software installed on your computer. If you are still having problems opening NRM files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Problems unrelated to software:
- NRM file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Unintentional removal of the description of the NRM file inside the Windows Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the NRM format
- The NRM itself is corrupted
- The NRM is infected with a virus
- Device drivers for NRM-related hardware are out-of-date
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your Nero Mixed Mode CD Compilation file
Quiz: Which of these is considered a vector image file?
That's Correct!
The unique thing about vector files such as AI and EPS is that graphic details (eg. sizes and shapes of objects) and text remains editable. This allows you can save and re-open them in Illustrator and edit text or other elements within the graphic.
