Step 1. Install VLC media player

Programs to open HM91 file

Remember to download programs supporting HM91 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of VLC media player with HM91 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HM91 file to open in the VLC media player application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program. 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 HM91 file with the VLC media player program.

Step 3. Update VLC media player to the latest version

If, however, after binding VLC media player with H.265 RAW Video Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the VideoLAN Project Team website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HM91 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HM91 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HM91 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HM91 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 HM91 file. 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 ability to automatically repair HM91 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HM91 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 HM91 to a different directory.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file HM91 to close. However, some background programs may block the HM91 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
