What is HPZ file?
The HPZ file has been categorized as Archive Files. It was designed by Major Mind Software. Additionally, the Archive Files category contains 619 of other files. Helpinator Project is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Helpinator to handle this file. This is a program created by Major Mind Software.
How to open HPZ file?
The most common problem when using Helpinator Project is that a specific HPZ is not associated with the program. This causes the file HPZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HPZ 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 Helpinator
In this case, you should first verify that the Helpinator application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Helpinator into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HPZ with Helpinator. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HPZ files.
Programs to open HPZ file
Remember to download programs supporting HPZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Helpinator with HPZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HPZ file still does not use the Helpinator program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 HPZ file with the Helpinator application.
Step 3. Update Helpinator to the latest version
If, however, after binding Helpinator with Helpinator Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Major Mind Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HPZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HPZ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HPZ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HPZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HPZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HPZ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Major Mind Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HPZ 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.
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 HPZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HPZ file again. However, some background programs may block the HPZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
