Programs to open IHS file

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

Step 2. Create association of Bink with IHS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IHS file to open in the Bink application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IHS file with the Bink application.

Step 3. Update Bink to the latest version

If, however, after binding Bink with Bink Inbound History there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the RAD Game Tools, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IHS file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The IHS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IHS 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IHS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IHS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IHS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IHS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use RAD Game Tools, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IHS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IHS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the IHS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IHS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
