The RECOIL application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga.

How to open HLR file?

The most common problem when using Attributes Gigascreen Picture Image Format is that a specific HLR is not associated with the program. This causes the file HLR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HLR 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 RECOIL

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RECOIL is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RECOIL in it. 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 HLR files.

Programs to open HLR file

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

Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with HLR files

If, despite the installed application, the HLR file does not start in the RECOIL application, you must create a file association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HLR file with the RECOIL application.

Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version

If, however, after binding RECOIL with Attributes Gigascreen Picture Image Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HLR file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The HLR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HLR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HLR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HLR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HLR 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HLR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HLR 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the HLR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HLR to close. However, some background programs may block the HLR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
