NIST File Extension

What is NIST file?

Full format name of files that use NIST extension is Audio. NIST file format is compatible with software that can be installed on Windows system platform. Files with NIST extension are categorized as Audio Files files. The Audio Files subset comprises 771 various file formats. The software recommended for managing NIST files is Awave Studio. Software named Awave Studio was created by FMJ-Software. In order to find more detailed information on the software and NIST files, check the developer’s official website.

Programs which support NIST file extension

The following listing features NIST-compatible programs. Files with NIST 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 NIST extension?

Being unable to open files with NIST extension can be have various origins. Fortunately, most common problems with NIST files can be solved without in-depth IT knowledge, and most importantly, in a matter of minutes. The list below will guide you through the process of addressing the encountered problem.

Step 1. Install Awave Studio software

The most common reason for such problems is the lack of proper applications that supports NIST files installed on the system. The solution is straightforward, just download and install Awave Studio. Above you will find a complete listing of programs that support NIST files, classified according to system platforms for which they are available. One of the most risk-free method of downloading software is using links provided by official distributors. Visit Awave Studio website and download the installer.

Step 2. Verify the you have the latest version of Awave Studio

If the problems with opening NIST files still occur even after installing Awave Studio, it is possible that you have an outdated version of the software. Check the developer’s website whether a newer version of Awave Studio is available. Software developers may implement support for more modern file formats in updated versions of their products. This can be one of the causes why NIST files are not compatible with Awave Studio. All of the file formats that were handled just fine by the previous versions of given program should be also possible to open using Awave Studio.

Step 3. Assign Awave Studio to NIST files

After installing Awave Studio (the most recent version) make sure that it is set as the default application to open NIST files. The next step should pose no problems. The procedure is straightforward and largely system-independent

Change the default application in Windows

• Choose the Open with entry from the file menu accessed by right-mouse clicking on the NIST file
• Next, select the Choose another app option and then using More apps open the list of available applications
• Finally select Look for another app on this PC, point to the folder where Awave Studio is installed, check the Always use this app to open NIST files box and conform your selection by clicking OK button

Change the default application in Mac OS

• By clicking right mouse button on the selected NIST file open the file menu and choose Information
• Open the Open with section by clicking its name
• Select Awave Studio and click Change for all...
• Finally, a This change will be applied to all files with NIST extension message should pop-up. Click Continue button in order to confirm your choice.

Step 4. Check the NIST for errors

Should the problem still occur after following steps 1-3, check if the NIST file is valid. Being unable to access the file can be related to various issues.

1. Verify that the NIST in question is not infected with a computer virus

Should it happed that the NIST is infected with a virus, this may be that cause that prevents you from accessing it. It is advised to scan the system for viruses and malware as soon as possible or use an online antivirus scanner. If the NIST file is indeed infected follow the instructions below.

2. Check whether the file is corrupted or damaged

If the NIST file was sent to you by someone else, ask this person to resend the file to you. The file might have been copied erroneously and the data lost integrity, which precludes from accessing the file. If the NIST file has been downloaded from the internet only partially, try to redownload it.

3. Check if the user that you are logged as has administrative privileges.

There is a possibility that the file in question can only be accessed by users with sufficient system privileges. Log in using an administrative account and see If this solves the problem.

4. Verify that your device fulfills the requirements to be able to open Awave Studio

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

5. Ensure that you have the latest drivers and system updates and patches installed

Up-to-date system and drivers not only makes your computer more secure, but also may solve problems with Audio file. It may be the case that the NIST files work properly with updated software that addresses some system bugs.
