How to open HSTX file?
The main problem with Altair HyperStudy Package is that the HSTX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file HSTX 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 HSTX 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 Altair HyperStudy
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Altair HyperStudy is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Altair HyperStudy into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HSTX files.
Programs to open HSTX file
Remember to download programs supporting HSTX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Altair HyperStudy with HSTX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HSTX file still does not use the Altair HyperStudy program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HSTX file with the Altair HyperStudy program.
Step 3. Update Altair HyperStudy to the latest version
If, however, after binding Altair HyperStudy with Altair HyperStudy Package there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Altair Engineering, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HSTX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HSTX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HSTX file. Sometimes virus-infected HSTX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HSTX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HSTX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Altair Engineering, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HSTX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move HSTX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HSTX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
