How to open HD2 file?
The most common problem when using Poser Hand Pose Format is that a specific HD2 is not associated with the program. This causes the file HD2 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 HD2 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 Micro Poser
The first step is to check if the computer has the Micro Poser program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Micro Poser in it. 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 HD2 files.
Programs to open HD2 file
Remember to download programs supporting HD2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Micro Poser with HD2 files
If, despite the installed application, the HD2 file does not start in the Micro Poser application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 HD2 file with the Micro Poser application.
Step 3. Update Micro Poser to the latest version
If, however, after binding Micro Poser with Poser Hand Pose Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HD2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to HD2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HD2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HD2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HD2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 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 HD2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Smith Micro, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HD2 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the HD2 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HD2 to close. However, some background programs may block the HD2 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
