Step 2. Create association of HCLab with HCG files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HCG file to open in the HCLab 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The HCG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HCG 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HCG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HCG 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 HCG file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HCG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use HCSoft Programación, s.l., help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HCG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the HCG 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HCG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
