HTB Troubleshooting

Typical HTB Opening Challenges

Audacity Isn't There

If you attempt to load your HTB file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open HTB Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have Audacity installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your HTB with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: If you don't have Audacity installed, and you know of another program to open your HTB file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Obsolete Version of Audacity

It is possible that your version of Audacity isn't able to open your Audacity Help File file due to incompatibility. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Audacity. Most of the time your Audacity Help File file was created by a newer Audacity than what you have installed.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your HTB file and clicking "Properties".

Primarily, problems experienced when opening HTB files are due to having the incorrect version of Audacity installed on your computer.
