The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HNF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected HNF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HNF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move HNF 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HNF file again. However, some background programs may block the HNF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
