How to open MHK file?
An often recurring problem with Riven Movie Data is that MHK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MHK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MHK 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 Riven: The Sequel to Myst
The first step is to check if the computer has the Riven: The Sequel to Myst program installed. This can be achieved by typing Riven: The Sequel to Myst into the operating system search engine. 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 MHK files.
Programs to open MHK file
Remember to download programs supporting MHK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Riven: The Sequel to Myst with MHK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MHK file to open in the Riven: The Sequel to Myst application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Riven: The Sequel to Myst application as the default for handling the MHK file.
Step 3. Update Riven: The Sequel to Myst to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Riven: The Sequel to Myst program with the Riven Movie Data 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 Br?derbund Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MHK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The MHK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MHK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MHK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MHK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MHK 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MHK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Brøderbund Software, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MHK 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. Copying the MHK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MHK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
