How to open BHO file?
An often recurring problem with Behold Organize Format is that BHO is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BHO 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 BHO 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 Behold
In this case, you should first verify that the Behold application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Behold in it. 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 BHO files.
Programs to open BHO file
Remember to download programs supporting BHO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Behold with BHO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BHO file to open in the Behold 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. 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 BHO file with the Behold program.
Step 3. Update Behold to the latest version
If, however, after binding Behold with Behold Organize Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Louis Kessler website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BHO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BHO file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BHO or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BHO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BHO file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BHO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Louis Kessler, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BHO 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. If possible, you can try to move the BHO file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 BHO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
