How to open CGZ file?

An often recurring problem with Linux Drivers Archive is that CGZ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CGZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CGZ 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 Red Hat Linux

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Red Hat Linux is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Red Hat Linux into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file CGZ.

Programs to open CGZ file

Remember to download programs supporting CGZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Red Hat Linux with CGZ files

If, despite the installed application, the CGZ file does not start in the Red Hat Linux application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Red Hat Linux application as the default for handling the CGZ file.

Step 3. Update Red Hat Linux to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Red Hat Linux program, it is possible that Linux Drivers Archive requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CGZ 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 CGZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CGZ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CGZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CGZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CGZ 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CGZ file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CGZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CGZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CGZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CGZ file again. 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.
