What is it?
A little more info may help us.

Otherwise, google file extention nrg. It may be related to nero or norton.

As far as I'm aware .nrg files are Nero CD/DVD images. You need Nero Burning ROM to open them, which you can find a free trial of @ nero.com :)

.... But you can't 'open' them like you can most CD images, you can only burn them to a disc. At least that's what it was like a year ago

And this http://www.weethet.nl/english/cdrw_nrgtoiso.php will help if you would like to change the file from an NRG to ISO file

Cheers

So you have an NRG file - mount it with DaemonTools - it should appear as another DVD drive with your ISO/NRG mounted - open it.....
