How to open ATZ file?
The most common problem when using Aston Compiled Theme is that a specific ATZ is not associated with the program. This causes the file ATZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ATZ 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 Aston
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Aston is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Aston in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ATZ files.
Programs to open ATZ file
Remember to download programs supporting ATZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Aston with ATZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ATZ file still does not use the Aston program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ATZ file with the Aston program.
Step 3. Update Aston to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Aston program, it is possible that Aston Compiled Theme requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Gladiators Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ATZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The ATZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ATZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ATZ file. Sometimes virus-infected ATZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ATZ file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ATZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Gladiators Software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ATZ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ATZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
