How to open H04 file?
The most common problem when using GE FIX32 Historical is that a specific H04 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open H04, 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 H04 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 FIX32
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FIX32 is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing FIX32 into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file H04.
Programs to open H04 file
Remember to download programs supporting H04 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FIX32 with H04 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the H04 file to open in the FIX32 application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the H04 file with the FIX32 application.
Step 3. Update FIX32 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FIX32 program with the GE FIX32 Historical file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the General Electric Company page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the H04 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the H04 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file H04 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover H04 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the H04 file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular H04 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact General Electric Company
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted H04 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move H04 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the H04 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. However, some background programs may block the H04 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
