How to open HMT file?
The most common problem when using HighMAT Format is that a specific HMT is not associated with the program. This causes the file HMT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HMT 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 HighMAT Extension
The first step is to check if the computer has the HighMAT Extension program installed. This can be achieved by typing HighMAT Extension 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 HMT with HighMAT Extension. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HMT files.
Programs to open HMT file
Remember to download programs supporting HMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HighMAT Extension with HMT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HMT file to open in the HighMAT Extension application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the HighMAT Extension application as the default for handling the HMT file.
Step 3. Update HighMAT Extension to the latest version
If, however, after binding HighMAT Extension with HighMAT Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HMT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The HMT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HMT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HMT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HMT 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 HMT 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HMT file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HMT 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HMT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HMT to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
