Troubleshooting Problems Opening NRG Files

Troubles Opening NRG Files

Missing IsoBuster

If you attempt to load your NRG file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open NRG Files". Customarily, this means that IsoBuster is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the NRG file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

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

Incorrect IsoBuster Version

In other instances, your Nero CD/DVD Image File file version may not be supported by your version of IsoBuster. Installing the latest version of IsoBuster from Smart Projects is recommended. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of NRG file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

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