Troubleshooting Problems Opening HXT Files
Common HXT Opening Problems
Microsoft Windows Removed
You attempt to load your HXT file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The HXT File Extension". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Windows is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your HXT file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens HXT files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Obsolete Version of Microsoft Windows
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Windows installed that's incompatible with your Microsoft Help 2 Table Of Contents File type. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Windows. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft Help 2 Table Of Contents File file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your HXT file and clicking "Properties".
Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Windows version on your computer can cause problems opening HXT files.
Other HXT File Opening Causes
Although you might already have Microsoft Windows or another HXT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Microsoft Help 2 Table Of Contents File files. If you are still having problems opening HXT files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Issues that aren't software-related:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for HXT
- The HXT file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Partial installation of Microsoft Windows that did not fully complete
- Your HXT file is corrupted (issues with your Microsoft Help 2 Table Of Contents File file itself)
- Past or present virus infection has affected your HXT
- Device drivers for HXT-related hardware are out-of-date
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Microsoft Help 2 Table Of Contents File file
