What is HML file?
The file with the extension HML is the Data Files file type. The author of this format is KS-Soft. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. HostMonitor TestList Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use HostMonitor to handle this file. This is a program created by KS-Soft.
How to open HML file?
The most common problem when using HostMonitor TestList Format is that a specific HML is not associated with the program. This causes the file HML 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 HML 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 HostMonitor
In this case, you should first verify that the HostMonitor application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing HostMonitor into the operating system search engine. 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 HML files.
Programs to open HML file
Remember to download programs supporting HML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HostMonitor with HML files
If, despite the installed application, the HML file does not start in the HostMonitor 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. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HML file with the HostMonitor program.
Step 3. Update HostMonitor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the HostMonitor program with the HostMonitor TestList Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the KS-Soft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HML file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HML file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HML or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HML file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HML file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting KS-Soft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HML 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HML to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HML to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HML file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
