How to open CZIP file?
The most common problem when using ZipGenius CryptoZip Format is that a specific CZIP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CZIP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CZIP 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 ZipGenius
The first step is to check if the computer has the ZipGenius program installed. This can be achieved by typing ZipGenius into the operating system search engine. 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 CZIP files.
Programs to open CZIP file
Remember to download programs supporting CZIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZipGenius with CZIP files
If, despite the installed application, the CZIP file does not start in the ZipGenius application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 CZIP file with the ZipGenius program.
Step 3. Update ZipGenius to the latest version
If, however, after binding ZipGenius with ZipGenius CryptoZip Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ZipGenius page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CZIP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The CZIP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CZIP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CZIP file. Sometimes virus-infected CZIP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CZIP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CZIP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting WinInizio Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CZIP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CZIP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CZIP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CZIP to close. 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.
