Troubleshooting Problems Opening NUT Files


Common Problems Opening NUT Files

Missing MPlayer

When you double-click your NUT file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have MPlayer for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your NUT file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


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


Obsolete Version of MPlayer

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of MPlayer installed that's incompatible with your NUT Video File type. Visit the The MPlayer Team website to download (or purchase) the latest version of MPlayer. This problem is predominately due to having a NUT Video File file version that was created by a newer version of MPlayer than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your NUT file and clicking "Properties".


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


Associated Difficulties Loading NUT Files

Although you might already have MPlayer or another NUT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening NUT Video File files. Other NUT opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These issues include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for NUT
  • Deletion of the NUT file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Partial installation of MPlayer that did not fully complete
  • Something has caused file corruption of your NUT
  • Malware-tainted NUT file can't be opened
  • Hardware related to NUTs has device driver corruption
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the NUT Video File format
