Troubleshooting Problems Opening NL Files
Common Problems Opening NL Files
NoteLedge Not Present
You attempt to load your NL file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The NL File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because NoteLedge isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your NL file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your NL file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
NoteLedge is Out-of-Date
Your Note Ledge File file is incompatible with NoteLedge because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Kdan Mobile Software Ltd website to download (or purchase) the latest version of NoteLedge. Most of the time your Note Ledge File file was created by a newer NoteLedge than what you have installed.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the NL file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening NL files are due to having the wrong version of NoteLedge installed.
Other NL File Opening Causes
Assuming you have the right NoteLedge version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening NL files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading NL files, other external issues might be to blame. Issues that aren't software-related:
- Invalid NL file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry NL description
- Partial installation of NoteLedge that did not fully complete
- The NL itself is corrupted
- Your NL is infected with malware
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your NL file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Note Ledge File file
