Step 2. Create association of Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit with HYDRA files

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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HYDRA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to HYDRA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HYDRA or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HYDRA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HYDRA 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HYDRA files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HYDRA 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. It is best to move HYDRA to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HYDRA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HYDRA to close. However, some background programs may block the HYDRA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
