How to open BIZ file?
The most common problem when using Broderbund Business Card Format is that a specific BIZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BIZ 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 BIZ 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 The Print Shop
In this case, you should first verify that the The Print Shop application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing The Print Shop 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 BIZ with The Print Shop. Below is a list of programs that support the file BIZ.
Programs to open BIZ file
Remember to download programs supporting BIZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Print Shop with BIZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BIZ file still does not use the The Print Shop program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BIZ file with the The Print Shop program.
Step 3. Update The Print Shop to the latest version
If, however, after binding The Print Shop with Broderbund Business Card Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BIZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BIZ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BIZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BIZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BIZ 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BIZ file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BIZ 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. 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 BIZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BIZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
