How to open ACD-ZIP file?
The most common problem when using Sony ACID Project With Embedded Media Format is that a specific ACD-ZIP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ACD-ZIP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ACD-ZIP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install ACID Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the ACID Pro program installed. This can be achieved by typing ACID Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ACD-ZIP with ACID Pro. Below you will find a list of applications that support ACD-ZIP files.
Programs to open ACD-ZIP file
Remember to download programs supporting ACD-ZIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ACID Pro with ACD-ZIP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ACD-ZIP file to open in the ACID Pro application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ACD-ZIP file with the ACID Pro program.
Step 3. Update ACID Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ACID Pro program with the Sony ACID Project With Embedded Media Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the MAGIX AG website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ACD-ZIP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ACD-ZIP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ACD-ZIP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ACD-ZIP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ACD-ZIP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ACD-ZIP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sony
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ACD-ZIP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ACD-ZIP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ACD-ZIP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
