How to open HHS file?
The main problem with Microsoft HTML Help Workshop Sample is that the HHS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HHS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HHS 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 Microsoft HTML Help Workshop
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft HTML Help Workshop into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support HHS files.
Programs to open HHS file
Remember to download programs supporting HHS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft HTML Help Workshop with HHS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HHS file to open in the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop 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 select the desired program. 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 Microsoft HTML Help Workshop application as the default for handling the HHS file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop program with the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop Sample 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HHS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to HHS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HHS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HHS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HHS file. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HHS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HHS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the HHS file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HHS file again. However, some background programs may block the HHS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
