Step 2. Create association of Micro Poser with HR2 files
If, despite the installed application, the HR2 file does not start in the Micro Poser application, you must create a file association. 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HR2 file with the Micro Poser application.

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HR2 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:
The HR2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HR2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HR2 file. Sometimes virus-infected HR2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HR2 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HR2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Smith Micro
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HR2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move HR2 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HR2 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HR2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
