How to open HT file?
The most common problem when using HyperTerminal Session Format is that a specific HT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open HT, 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 HT 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 HyperTerminal
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that HyperTerminal is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name HyperTerminal into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HT files.
Programs to open HT file
Remember to download programs supporting HT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HyperTerminal with HT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HT file to open in the HyperTerminal 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. 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. 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 HT file with the HyperTerminal application.
Step 3. Update HyperTerminal to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the HyperTerminal program, it is possible that HyperTerminal Session Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Hilgraeve Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HT 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HT file. Sometimes virus-infected HT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HT file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Hilgraeve
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the HT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HT to close. However, some background programs may block the HT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
