How to open HYQ file?
The most common problem when using CARE-S InfoWorks Hydrograph is that a specific HYQ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HYQ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HYQ 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 CARE-S
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CARE-S is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CARE-S 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 HYQ with CARE-S. Below you will find a list of applications that support HYQ files.
Programs to open HYQ file
Remember to download programs supporting HYQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CARE-S with HYQ files
If, despite the installed application, the HYQ file does not start in the CARE-S application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CARE-S application as the default for handling the HYQ file.
Step 3. Update CARE-S to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CARE-S program, it is possible that CARE-S InfoWorks Hydrograph requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SINTEF page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HYQ 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. Usually this applies to HYQ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 HYQ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HYQ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HYQ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HYQ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SINTEF
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HYQ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move HYQ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HYQ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
