EEP Troubleshooting
Common Problems Opening EEP Files
HHD Hex Editor Disappeared
Double-clicking your EEP file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open EEP File". If so, it typically means that you don't have HHD Hex Editor installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the EEP file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: Another EEP-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Incorrect HHD Hex Editor Version
Sometimes your installed version of HHD Hex Editor won't support your EEPROM Data File file. Download the latest HHD Hex Editor version from the HHD Software website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your EEPROM Data File file was created by a different (newer) version of HHD Hex Editor than what's installed.
Tip: Investigate your EEP file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening EEP files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading EEP Files
Even with the correct version of HHD Hex Editor installed, you can still experience difficulties opening EEPs. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening EEP files. Additional factors include:
- Invalid EEP file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Corruption of the EEP file description inside the Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the EEP format
- EEP file corruption
- Malware-tainted EEP file can't be opened
- EEP-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open EEPROM Data File files
