How to open CHQ file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Help Combined Full-text Search is that a specific CHQ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CHQ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CHQ 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 Microsoft Windows
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Windows is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Windows 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 CHQ with Microsoft Windows. Below you will find a list of applications that support CHQ files.
Programs to open CHQ file
Remember to download programs supporting CHQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with CHQ files
If, despite the installed application, the CHQ file does not start in the Microsoft Windows application, you must create a file 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CHQ file with the Microsoft Windows program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Windows program, it is possible that Microsoft Help Combined Full-text Search requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CHQ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CHQ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CHQ 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. 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 CHQ file. Sometimes virus-infected CHQ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CHQ files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
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 ability to automatically repair CHQ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CHQ 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CHQ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CHQ to close. 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.
