How to open HLX file?

An often recurring problem with ATI Radeon Video Driver Support Format is that HLX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file HLX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HLX 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 Referenced by the ATI video driver

The first step is to check if the computer has the Referenced by the ATI video driver program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Referenced by the ATI video driver 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 HLX.

Step 2. Create association of Referenced by the ATI video driver with HLX files

If, despite the installed application, the HLX file does not start in the Referenced by the ATI video driver application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HLX file with the Referenced by the ATI video driver application.

Step 3. Update Referenced by the ATI video driver to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Referenced by the ATI video driver program, it is possible that ATI Radeon Video Driver Support Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 HLX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 HLX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HLX 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 HLX 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HLX file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HLX 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 HLX 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HLX to close. However, some background programs may block the HLX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
