How to open EHAM file?

The main problem with ExtraHAM Executable Format is that the EHAM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that EHAM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EHAM 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 Ham Programmer Toolkit

The first step is to check if the computer has the Ham Programmer Toolkit program installed. To do this, enter the name Ham Programmer Toolkit 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 EHAM with Ham Programmer Toolkit. Below you will find a list of applications that support EHAM files.

Programs to open EHAM file

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

Step 2. Create association of Ham Programmer Toolkit with EHAM files

If, despite the installed application, the EHAM file does not start in the Ham Programmer Toolkit application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Ham Programmer Toolkit application as the default for handling the EHAM file.

Step 3. Update Ham Programmer Toolkit to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Ham Programmer Toolkit program, it is possible that ExtraHAM Executable Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the ZAPLOTS GAMES INC website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to EHAM 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EHAM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected EHAM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EHAM file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 EHAM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Zaplots
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file EHAM 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. If possible, you can try to move the EHAM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EHAM 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EHAM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
