How to open AHL file?
An often recurring problem with EMule Metadata Format is that AHL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file AHL 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 AHL 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 eMule
In this case, you should first verify that the eMule application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name eMule into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AHL with eMule. Below you will find a list of applications that support AHL files.
Programs to open AHL file
Remember to download programs supporting AHL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of eMule with AHL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AHL file to open in the eMule application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AHL file with the eMule application.
Step 3. Update eMule to the latest version
If, however, after binding eMule with EMule Metadata Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the eMule-Project.net website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AHL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to AHL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AHL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AHL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of AHL 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AHL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use eMule help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AHL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AHL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the AHL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AHL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
