How to open HEA file?
An often recurring problem with Fifa 2001 Data is that HEA is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HEA, 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 HEA 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 FIFA 2001

Programs to open HEA file
Remember to download programs supporting HEA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FIFA 2001 with HEA files
If, despite the installed application, the HEA file does not start in the FIFA 2001 application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HEA file with the FIFA 2001 program.
Step 3. Update FIFA 2001 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FIFA 2001 program with the Fifa 2001 Data 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 Electronic Arts, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HEA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HEA file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HEA or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HEA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HEA files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HEA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Electronic Arts, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HEA 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 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. It is best to move HEA to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 HEA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
