Programs to open HRZ file
Remember to download programs supporting HRZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Micro Poser with HRZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HRZ file to open in the Micro Poser application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HRZ file with the Micro Poser application.
Step 3. Update Micro Poser to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Micro Poser program, it is possible that Compressed Poser Hair Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HRZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The HRZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HRZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HRZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected HRZ 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 HRZ 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HRZ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Smith Micro help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HRZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the HRZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HRZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HRZ to close. However, some background programs may block the HRZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
