How to open IHE file?

The most common problem when using Interlace Hires Editor Picture Image Format is that a specific IHE is not associated with the program. This causes the file IHE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IHE 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 RECOIL

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

Programs to open IHE file

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

Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with IHE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IHE file to open in the RECOIL application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 IHE file with the RECOIL application.

Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version

If, however, after binding RECOIL with Interlace Hires Editor Picture Image Format 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 Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IHE 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 IHE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the IHE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IHE file. Sometimes virus-infected IHE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IHE file. 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 IHE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IHE 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 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 IHE to a different directory.
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. 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 IHE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
