How to open H_ file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Winhelp Compressed is that a specific H_ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open H_, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the H_ 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 Help
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Windows Help program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Windows Help 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 you will find a list of applications that support H_ files.
Programs to open H_ file
Remember to download programs supporting H_ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows Help with H_ files
If, despite the installed application, the H_ file does not start in the Microsoft Windows Help application, you must create a file association. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows Help application as the default for handling the H_ file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows Help to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows Help program with the Microsoft Winhelp Compressed 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the H_ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the H_ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file H_ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected H_ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the H_ 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged H_ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file H_ 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 H_ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the H_ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
