How to open HEP file?
The main problem with Novell NetWare Help Librarian Data is that the HEP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file HEP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HEP 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 Novell NetWare
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Novell NetWare is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Novell NetWare into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HEP with Novell NetWare. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HEP files.
Programs to open HEP file
Remember to download programs supporting HEP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Novell NetWare with HEP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HEP file still does not use the Novell NetWare program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 Novell NetWare application as the default for handling the HEP file.
Step 3. Update Novell NetWare to the latest version
If, however, after binding Novell NetWare with Novell NetWare Help Librarian Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Novell, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HEP 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HEP 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HEP file. Sometimes virus-infected HEP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HEP files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair HEP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Novell, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HEP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the HEP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HEP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
