Step 2. Create association of Creative Live! Cam with VFZ files
If, despite the installed application, the VFZ file does not start in the Creative Live! Cam application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VFZ file with the Creative Live! Cam application.
Step 3. Update Creative Live! Cam to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Creative Live! Cam program, it is possible that Creative Webcam Video Effects Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VFZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The VFZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VFZ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VFZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected VFZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VFZ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VFZ file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VFZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the VFZ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VFZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
