Troubleshooting Problems Opening NLD Files

Troubles Opening NLD Files

Microsoft Windows Removed

You attempt to load your NLD file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The NLD File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Windows missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your NLD with Microsoft Windows, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens NLD files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Microsoft Windows Requires Update

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Windows won't support your ATI Radeon Video Driver File file. Download the latest Microsoft Windows version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your ATI Radeon Video Driver File file was created by a newer Microsoft Windows than what you have installed.

Tip: Right-clicking on your NLD, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Conclusion: The majority of NLD file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Windows version installed.
