Step 2. Create association of HighGrow with HGP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HGP file to open in the HighGrow application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type.

However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HGP file with the HighGrow application.

Step 3. Update HighGrow to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the HighGrow program, it is possible that HighGrow Plant requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Slick Software page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HGP 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HGP file contents when downloading or copying. 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 HGP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HGP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HGP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HGP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Slick Software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HGP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HGP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HGP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
