What is HHB file?
The file in the HHB format belongs to the Misc Files category. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. LIGPLOT Data Format is most often found on 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 main program that supports this format is LIGPLOT. This was created by Andrew Wallace and Roman Laskowski.
How to open HHB file?
An often recurring problem with LIGPLOT Data Format is that HHB is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HHB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HHB 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 LIGPLOT
The first step is to check if the computer has the LIGPLOT program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LIGPLOT in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HHB with LIGPLOT. Below you will find a list of applications that support HHB files.
Programs to open HHB file
Remember to download programs supporting HHB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LIGPLOT with HHB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HHB file still does not use the LIGPLOT program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 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 LIGPLOT application as the default for handling the HHB file.
Step 3. Update LIGPLOT to the latest version
If, however, after binding LIGPLOT with LIGPLOT Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Andrew Wallace and Roman Laskowski page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HHB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HHB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HHB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected HHB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HHB 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HHB files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HHB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the HHB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HHB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HHB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
