How to open HISU file?

The most common problem when using DL_POLY History is that a specific HISU is not associated with the program. This causes the file HISU 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 HISU 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the DL_POLY program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DL_POLY in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file HISU.

Programs to open HISU file

Remember to download programs supporting HISU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of DL_POLY with HISU files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HISU file still does not use the DL_POLY 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HISU file with the DL_POLY application.

Step 3. Update DL_POLY to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the DL_POLY program, it is possible that DL_POLY History requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HISU 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HISU file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HISU file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HISU 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 HISU file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HISU files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HISU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HISU to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HISU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
