How to open HXM file?
The main problem with Descent 2 Resource Modification is that the HXM file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HXM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HXM 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 Descent 2
In this case, you should first verify that the Descent 2 application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Descent 2 in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HXM with Descent 2. Below you will find a list of applications that support HXM files.
Programs to open HXM file
Remember to download programs supporting HXM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Descent 2 with HXM files
If, despite the installed application, the HXM file does not start in the Descent 2 application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Descent 2 application as the default for handling the HXM file.
Step 3. Update Descent 2 to the latest version
If, however, after binding Descent 2 with Descent 2 Resource Modification there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Interplay Entertainment Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HXM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to HXM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HXM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HXM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HXM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 HXM files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HXM 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the HXM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HXM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HXM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
