What is IDH file?

The file with the extension IDH is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is SourceForge.net. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files.

How to open IDH file?

The main problem with OpenCBM is that the IDH file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open IDH, 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 IDH 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 OpenCBM

In this case, you should first verify that the OpenCBM application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name OpenCBM in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support IDH files.

Programs to open IDH file

Remember to download programs supporting IDH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of OpenCBM with IDH files

If, despite the installed application, the IDH file does not start in the OpenCBM 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the OpenCBM application as the default for handling the IDH file.

Step 3. Update OpenCBM to the latest version

If, despite the association of the OpenCBM program with the OpenCBM file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SourceForge.net website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IDH 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IDH file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IDH or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected IDH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IDH 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IDH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SourceForge.net
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IDH 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the IDH file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 IDH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
