How to open HMXZ file?
The most common problem when using Help & Manual Compressed Project is that a specific HMXZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HMXZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HMXZ 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 Help & Manual
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Help & Manual is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Help & Manual into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file HMXZ.
Programs to open HMXZ file
Remember to download programs supporting HMXZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Help & Manual with HMXZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HMXZ file to open in the Help & Manual 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 HMXZ file with the Help & Manual application.
Step 3. Update Help & Manual to the latest version
If, however, after binding Help & Manual with Help & Manual Compressed Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the EC Software GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HMXZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HMXZ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HMXZ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HMXZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HMXZ 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HMXZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting EC Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HMXZ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the HMXZ file to another location.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HMXZ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
