Frequent BHX Opening Issues

Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe Disappeared

If you attempt to load your BHX file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open BHX Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the BHX file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your BHX, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
