Programs to open NHL file

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

Step 2. Create association of NHL 2002 with NHL files

If, despite the installed application, the NHL file does not start in the NHL 2002 application, you must create a file association. 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. 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 NHL file with the NHL 2002 application.

Step 3. Update NHL 2002 to the latest version

If, however, after binding NHL 2002 with Nhl Ice Hockey Game 2002 User Teams there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the EA Sports page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NHL 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 NHL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NHL file. However, remember that not every infected NHL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NHL 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NHL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting EA Sports, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NHL 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. If possible, you can try to move the NHL file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NHL file again. However, some background programs may block the NHL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
