In some rare cases you might need to contact Electronic Arts Ltd directly for the correct file version you need. Some hppoa.exe versions are not in our database, so please click the "Request" button to have our staff retrieve it. In the list below, you can download the most recent file versions for nearly all Windows versions, including some for %%os%%. Windows Executable File formats, classified as Executable Files, most often carry the EXE extension. As a last measure, we recommend using a registry cleaner to repair any invalid hppoa.exe, EXE file extension, and other file path references which could be causing the error message. Ordinarily, installing a new version of the EXE file will repair the problem creating the error. If I have more success, or tips and tricks, I will update here, and/or on the PCGamingWiki page for the game.Typically, hppoa.exe errors are caused by a corrupt, infected, or missing executable file, and commonly happen at The World of Harry Potter (The Prisoner of Azkaban) startup. I bought a triple pack off eBay and this is the only game of the three I've fiddled with. It's not what I'd call a "fix", but it might be enough for you to enjoy the game, the logical (and drastic) solution is to reinstall Windows7/XP to a real machine and play via that. That could be a VM issue, or it could be some odd quirk of the game on Windows 7. My install also refused to save any video settings, which now I come to think of it, makes me wonder if it would actually save games, so there's that to be aware of also.Not yet tried with a DInput compatible controller. Considering the vintage of the game, this could be an issue with the version of the Unreal engine it uses. Although I got my Wireless X360 controller recognised in the Win7 VM control panel, the game didn't recognise it.My options were 640 and 800 4:3 windowed resolutions. This might be a current limitation of the VM I used ( VirtualBox). I couldn't get the game running in fullscreen in the VM.You'll need a decent parent machine to account for the VM overhead.This isn't great news, but the only "fix" I've found thus far, is to run the game in a Windows 7 VM (or earlier WinOS if you like/feel like it.) While this gets the game up and running, it has some issues:
