How to open HHM file?
The most common problem when using HHsearch Database Format is that a specific HHM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HHM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HHM 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 HH-suite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that HH-suite is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing HH-suite into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open HHM file
Remember to download programs supporting HHM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HH-suite with HHM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HHM file still does not use the HH-suite program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the HH-suite application as the default for handling the HHM file.
Step 3. Update HH-suite to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the HH-suite program, it is possible that HHsearch Database Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HHM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HHM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HHM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HHM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HHM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HHM file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HHM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the HHM file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HHM to close. 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.
