How to open HMS file?
An often recurring problem with HostMonitor Script Format is that HMS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HMS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HMS 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. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support HMS files.
Programs to open HMS file
Remember to download programs supporting HMS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HostMonitor with HMS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HMS file to open in the HostMonitor 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HMS file with the HostMonitor application.
Step 3. Update HostMonitor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the HostMonitor program, it is possible that HostMonitor Script Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the KS-Soft website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HMS 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:
The HMS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HMS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HMS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HMS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HMS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HMS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use KS-Soft help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HMS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move HMS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 HMS to close. However, some background programs may block the HMS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
