The HS2 file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the HS2 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the HS2 file on each system platform.
What is HS2 file?
The HS2 file has been categorized as Data Files. It was designed by ResearchWare. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. HyperRESEARCH 2 Study Format is supported by 2 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use HyperRESEARCH to handle this file. This is a program created by ResearchWare, Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs.
How to open HS2 file?
The most common problem when using HyperRESEARCH 2 Study Format is that a specific HS2 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open HS2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HS2 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 HyperRESEARCH
The first step is to check if the computer has the HyperRESEARCH program installed. This can be achieved by typing HyperRESEARCH 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 HS2 with HyperRESEARCH. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HS2 files.
Programs to open HS2 file
Remember to download programs supporting HS2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HyperRESEARCH with HS2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HS2 file still does not use the HyperRESEARCH 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HS2 file with the HyperRESEARCH program.
Step 3. Update HyperRESEARCH to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the HyperRESEARCH program, it is possible that HyperRESEARCH 2 Study Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ResearchWare, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HS2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HS2 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HS2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HS2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HS2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HS2 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ResearchWare, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HS2 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the HS2 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HS2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HS2 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
