What is HISF file?
The file with the extension HISF is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is CSE. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. DL_POLY History is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.
How to open HISF file?
The most common problem when using DL_POLY History is that a specific HISF is not associated with the program. This causes the file HISF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HISF 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 DL_POLY
In this case, you should first verify that the DL_POLY application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DL_POLY 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HISF files.
Programs to open HISF file
Remember to download programs supporting HISF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DL_POLY with HISF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HISF file to open in the DL_POLY application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HISF file with the DL_POLY program.
Step 3. Update DL_POLY to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DL_POLY program with the DL_POLY History file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HISF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HISF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 HISF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected HISF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HISF 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HISF files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HISF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move HISF to a different directory.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HISF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
