How to open H86 file?

The most common problem when using CP/M is that a specific H86 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that H86 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 H86 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the program installed. This can be achieved by typing into the operating system search engine. 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 H86 files.

Programs to open H86 file

Remember to download programs supporting H86 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of with H86 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the H86 file to open in the 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the H86 file with the application.

Step 3. Update to the latest version

If, despite the association of the program with the CP/M file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the H86 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to H86 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our H86 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover H86 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of H86 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair H86 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted H86 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move H86 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the H86 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the H86 file again. However, some background programs may block the H86 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
