Tips to open HFP file
Can't open the HFP file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open HFP files as well as a list of programs that support HFP files.
HFP file extension
The HFP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the HFP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the HFP file on each system platform.
What is HFP file?
The file in the HFP format belongs to the Misc Files category. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. XnView Filter is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The XnView application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open HFP file?
The main problem with XnView Filter is that the HFP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file HFP 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 HFP 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 XnView
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XnView 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 HFP files.
Programs to open HFP file
Remember to download programs supporting HFP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with HFP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HFP file to open in the XnView 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 HFP file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the XnView Filter 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 Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HFP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HFP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HFP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HFP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HFP file. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HFP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HFP 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. It is best to move HFP to a different directory.
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 HFP to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
