BH file extension
The BH file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BH files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BH file on each system platform.
What is BH file?
The file in the BH format belongs to the Compressed Files category. The author of this format is ZipTV. Additionally, the Compressed Files category contains 236 of other files. BlakHole Archive appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use ALZip to handle this file. This is a program created by ESTsoft Corp.. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. IZArc, ClikView, ZipTV will apply when it is not possible to use ALZip.
How to open BH file?
The main problem with BlakHole Archive is that the BH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BH 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 BH 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 ALZip
In this case, you should first verify that the ALZip application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ALZip into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BH files.
Programs to open BH file
Remember to download programs supporting BH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ALZip with BH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BH file to open in the ALZip application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ALZip application as the default for handling the BH file.
Step 3. Update ALZip to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ALZip program, it is possible that BlakHole Archive requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the ESTsoft Corp. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BH 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 BH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. 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 BH file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BH 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BH files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ZipTV, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BH 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 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 BH to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BH file again. However, some background programs may block the BH file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
