The HM2 file has been categorized as Document Files. It was designed by EC Software GmbH. In addition to this file, the Document Files category includes 574 related files. Help & Manual Help Format Project is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open HM2 file?
An often recurring problem with Help & Manual Help Format Project is that HM2 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HM2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HM2 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 Help & Manual
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Help & Manual is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Help & Manual into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HM2 with Help & Manual. Below you will find a list of applications that support HM2 files.
Programs to open HM2 file
Remember to download programs supporting HM2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Help & Manual with HM2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HM2 file still does not use the Help & Manual program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Help & Manual application as the default for handling the HM2 file.
Step 3. Update Help & Manual to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Help & Manual program, it is possible that Help & Manual Help Format Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the EC Software GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HM2 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:
The HM2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HM2 file contents when downloading or copying. 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 HM2 file. However, remember that not every infected HM2 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 HM2 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 option of recovering data from damaged HM2 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting EC Software GmbH, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HM2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the HM2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HM2 file again. However, some background programs may block the HM2 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
