How to open HYPE file?

An often recurring problem with Hype Document is that HYPE is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that HYPE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HYPE 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 Hype

The first step is to check if the computer has the Hype program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Hype in it. 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 HYPE files.

Programs to open HYPE file

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

Step 2. Create association of Hype with HYPE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HYPE file to open in the Hype application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HYPE file with the Hype program.

Step 3. Update Hype to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Hype program with the Hype Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Tumult website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HYPE 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HYPE file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HYPE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HYPE 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.
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 HYPE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Tumult, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HYPE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the HYPE file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HYPE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
