Programs which support NBP file extension

Below you will find an index of software programs that can be used to open NBP files divided into 3 categories according to system platform supported. Files with NBP extension, just like any other file formats, can be found on any operating system. The files in question may be transferred to other devices, be it mobile or stationary, yet not all systems may be capable of properly handling such files.

How to open file with NBP extension?

There can be multiple causes why you have problems with opening NBP files on given system. What is important, all common issues related to files with NBP extension can be resolved by the users themselves. The process is quick and doesn’t involve an IT expert. The list below will guide you through the process of addressing the encountered problem.

Step 1. Install Mathematica software

The main and most frequent cause precluding users form opening NBP files is that no program that can handle NBP files is installed on user’s system. The most obvious solution is to download and install Mathematica or one to the listed programs: CDF Player, DF Player. The full list of programs grouped by operating systems can be found above. One of the most risk-free method of downloading software is using links provided by official distributors. Visit Mathematica website and download the installer.

Step 2. Check the version of Mathematica and update if needed

If you already have Mathematica installed on your systems and NBP files are still not opened properly, check if you have the latest version of the software. It may also happen that software creators by updating their applications add compatibility with other, newer file formats. If you have an older version of Mathematica installed, it may not support NBP format. All of the file formats that were handled just fine by the previous versions of given program should be also possible to open using Mathematica.

Step 3. Associate Mathematica Player Notebook Format files with Mathematica

The process of associating file formats with default application may differ in details depending on platform, but the basic procedure is very similar.

Selecting the first-choice application in Windows

• Choose the Open with entry from the file menu accessed by right-mouse clicking on the NBP file
• Select Choose another app → More apps
• Finally select Look for another app on this PC, point to the folder where Mathematica is installed, check the Always use this app to open NBP files box and conform your selection by clicking OK button

Selecting the first-choice application in Mac OS

• From the drop-down menu, accessed by clicking the file with NBP extension, select Information
• Open the Open with section by clicking its name
• From the list choose the appropriate program and confirm by clicking Change for all....

2. Ensure the file with NBP extension is complete and error-free

Did you receive the NBP file in question from a different person? Ask him/her to send it one more time. During the copy process of the file errors may occurred rendering the file incomplete or corrupted. This could be the source of encountered problems with the file. It could happen the the download process of file with NBP extension was interrupted and the file data is defective. Download the file again from the same source.

3. Verify whether your account has administrative rights

Sometimes in order to access files user need to have administrative privileges. Log in using an administrative account and see If this solves the problem.

4. Make sure that the system has sufficient resources to run Mathematica

If the system is under havy load, it may not be able to handle the program that you use to open files with NBP extension. In this case close the other applications.

5. Verify that your operating system and drivers are up to date

Latest versions of programs and drivers may help you solve problems with Mathematica Player Notebook Format files and ensure security of your device and operating system. It may be the case that the NBP files work properly with updated software that addresses some system bugs.
