The HISAWSAVE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HISAWSAVE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HISAWSAVE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HISAWSAVE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HISAWSAVE files changes over time. 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 HISAWSAVE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Her Interactive, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HISAWSAVE 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. It is best to move HISAWSAVE to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HISAWSAVE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge.
