How to open BALZ file?
An often recurring problem with BALZ Compressed Archive Format is that BALZ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BALZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BALZ 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 PeaZip
In this case, you should first verify that the PeaZip application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PeaZip into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BALZ files.
Programs to open BALZ file
Remember to download programs supporting BALZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PeaZip with BALZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BALZ file to open in the PeaZip application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 BALZ file with the PeaZip program.
Step 3. Update PeaZip to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PeaZip program with the BALZ Compressed Archive Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Giorgio Tani website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BALZ 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 BALZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BALZ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BALZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BALZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BALZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BALZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BALZ 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BALZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BALZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BALZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
