Troubleshoot HYP Files


Frequent HYP Opening Issues

Missing Hyper

You attempt to load your HYP file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The HYP File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have Hyper installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the HYP file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens HYP files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Incorrect Hyper Version

In other instances, your HYPER Compressed Archive file version may not be supported by your version of Hyper. Installing the latest version of Hyper from Interscape is recommended. Your HYPER Compressed Archive file was probably created by a newer release of Hyper than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: If you right-click on your HYP file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening HYP files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Additional HYP Opening Issues

You can still experience errors opening HYP files even with the latest version of Hyper installed on your PC. If you're still experiencing problems opening HYP files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for HYP
  • Deletion of the HYP file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the HYP format
  • HYP file corruption
  • HYP file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your HYP file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open HYPER Compressed Archive files
