Step 2. Create association of Worms Mayhem with HMP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HMP file to open in the Worms Mayhem 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.

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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HMP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HMP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HMP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HMP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HMP files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HMP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HMP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HMP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HMP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HMP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
