How to open HUD file?
An often recurring problem with SmartWare Dictionary is that HUD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file HUD 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 HUD 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 SmartWare
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SmartWare is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SmartWare 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 HUD with SmartWare. Below you will find a list of applications that support HUD files.
Programs to open HUD file
Remember to download programs supporting HUD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with HUD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HUD file to open in the SmartWare 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 HUD file with the SmartWare application.
Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SmartWare program, it is possible that SmartWare Dictionary requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SmartWare Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HUD 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 suggests truncating the HUD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HUD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HUD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HUD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HUD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SmartWare Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HUD 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move HUD to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HUD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
