How to open HP1 file?
The most common problem when using HP Graphics Language Plotter is that a specific HP1 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open HP1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HP1 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 XnView
In this case, you should first verify that the XnView application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XnView 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 HP1 files.
Programs to open HP1 file
Remember to download programs supporting HP1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with HP1 files
If, despite the installed application, the HP1 file does not start in the XnView application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 HP1 file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the HP Graphics Language Plotter 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 Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HP1 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 HP1 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 HP1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HP1 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 HP1 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HP1 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HP1 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the HP1 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HP1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HP1 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HP1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
