How to open HEWSP file?

An often recurring problem with HippoEDIT Workspace Format is that HEWSP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file HEWSP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HEWSP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install HippoEDIT

In this case, you should first verify that the HippoEDIT application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name HippoEDIT into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HEWSP files.

Programs to open HEWSP file

Remember to download programs supporting HEWSP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of HippoEDIT with HEWSP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HEWSP file still does not use the HippoEDIT program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the HippoEDIT application as the default for handling the HEWSP file.

Step 3. Update HippoEDIT to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the HippoEDIT program, it is possible that HippoEDIT Workspace Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the HippoEDIT.com website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HEWSP file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HEWSP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HEWSP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HEWSP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HEWSP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HEWSP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HEWSP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move HEWSP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HEWSP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
