Step 1. Install Total Commander

Programs to open H4R file
Remember to download programs supporting H4R files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Total Commander with H4R files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the H4R file to open in the Total Commander application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 H4R file with the Total Commander program.
Step 3. Update Total Commander to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Total Commander program, it is possible that Heroes Of Might And Magic IV Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Ghisler Software GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the H4R 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the H4R file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file H4R or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover H4R 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 H4R file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular H4R file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact New World Computing
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted H4R 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. It is best to move H4R to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file H4R 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.
