The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HP6 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the HP6 file to another location will fix the problem.

If this does not work either, restart the device.
