How to open HOTSPOT file?
The main problem with Homeworld Cursor Informaiton is that the HOTSPOT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that HOTSPOT 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 HOTSPOT 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 Homeworld
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Homeworld is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Homeworld into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HOTSPOT files.
Programs to open HOTSPOT file
Remember to download programs supporting HOTSPOT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Homeworld with HOTSPOT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HOTSPOT file still does not use the Homeworld program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HOTSPOT file with the Homeworld program.
Step 3. Update Homeworld to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Homeworld program with the Homeworld Cursor Informaiton file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Relic Entertainment Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HOTSPOT 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HOTSPOT file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HOTSPOT file. However, remember that not every infected HOTSPOT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HOTSPOT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HOTSPOT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Relic Entertainment Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HOTSPOT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the HOTSPOT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HOTSPOT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HOTSPOT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HOTSPOT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
