Sources of NCB Problems

Common Problems Opening NCB Files

Microsoft Visual Studio Not Present

If you attempt to load your NCB file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open NCB Files". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Visual Studio is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your NCB with Microsoft Visual Studio, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: Another NCB-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Wrong Version of Microsoft Visual Studio is Installed

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed that's incompatible with your Visual C++ IntelliSense Database type. Download the latest Microsoft Visual Studio version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Visual C++ IntelliSense Database file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: If you right-click on your NCB file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of NCB file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Visual Studio version installed.

Additional NCB Opening Issues

You can still experience errors opening NCB files even with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening NCB files. Issues that aren't software-related:

• NCB file type Registry entries are wrong
• Corruption of the NCB file description inside the Registry
• Defective install of a NCB program, such as Microsoft Visual Studio
• The NCB itself is corrupted
• Your NCB has adversely impacted by malware
• Drivers associated with NCB software need to be updated
• Windows cannot load your Visual C++ IntelliSense Database file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
