What is HAR file?

The file in the HAR format belongs to the Misc Files category. The creator of this file is Rick Meyers. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. E-Sword Harmony Resource appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use e-Sword to handle this file. This is a program created by Rick Meyers.

How to open HAR file?

The main problem with E-Sword Harmony Resource is that the HAR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file HAR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HAR 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 e-Sword

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that e-Sword is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name e-Sword into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HAR files.

Programs to open HAR file

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

Step 2. Create association of e-Sword with HAR files

If, despite the installed application, the HAR file does not start in the e-Sword application, you must create a file association. 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 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 e-Sword application as the default for handling the HAR file.

Step 3. Update e-Sword to the latest version

If, despite the association of the e-Sword program with the E-Sword Harmony Resource file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Rick Meyers website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HAR file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HAR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HAR 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 HAR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HAR files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Rick Meyers
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HAR 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the HAR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HAR to close. However, some background programs may block the HAR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
