How to open HQP file?
The most common problem when using CP/M Disc Utility Information Data Format is that a specific HQP is not associated with the program. This causes the file HQP 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 HQP 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 CP/M
In this case, you should first verify that the CP/M application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CP/M into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file HQP.
Programs to open HQP file
Remember to download programs supporting HQP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CP/M with HQP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HQP file to open in the CP/M application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 HQP file with the CP/M application.
Step 3. Update CP/M to the latest version
If, however, after binding CP/M with CP/M Disc Utility Information Data Format 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 Digital Research website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HQP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The HQP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HQP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HQP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HQP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HQP files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair HQP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HQP 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. 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 HQP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the HQP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
