Common Problems Opening NT Files

Missing Microsoft Windows

If you attempt to load your NT file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open NT Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your NT with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your NT, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Windows

In other instances, your Windows NT Startup File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Windows. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Windows (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. Most of the time your Windows NT Startup File file was created by a newer Microsoft Windows than what you have installed.


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


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening NT files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


More Causes of Problems Opening NTs

Although you might already have Microsoft Windows or another NT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Windows NT Startup File files. Other NT opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Windows Registry NT file paths that are incorrect
  • Deletion of the NT file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Defective install of a NT program, such as Microsoft Windows
  • The NT itself is corrupted
  • NT file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware related to NTs has device driver corruption
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Windows NT Startup File file
