How to open HIN file?
The main problem with HyperChem HIN Chemical Modeller Input is that the HIN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that HIN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HIN 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 HyperChem
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that HyperChem is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing HyperChem into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support HIN files.
Programs to open HIN file
Remember to download programs supporting HIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HyperChem with HIN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HIN file still does not use the HyperChem program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 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 HyperChem application as the default for handling the HIN file.
Step 3. Update HyperChem to the latest version
If, despite the association of the HyperChem program with the HyperChem HIN Chemical Modeller Input file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Hypercube, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HIN 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:
The HIN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HIN file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HIN file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HIN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HIN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HIN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Hypercube, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HIN files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. Copying the HIN file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HIN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HIN file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
