Description In Zip Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use TextEdit to handle this file. This is a program created by Apple, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 4 other programs.

How to open DIZ file?

An often recurring problem with Description In Zip Format is that DIZ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DIZ 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 DIZ 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 TextEdit

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TextEdit is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TextEdit into the 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 DIZ files.

Step 2. Create association of TextEdit with DIZ files

If, despite the installed application, the DIZ file does not start in the TextEdit 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DIZ file with the TextEdit application.

Step 3. Update TextEdit to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TextEdit program, it is possible that Description In Zip Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DIZ 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DIZ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DIZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DIZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DIZ 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.
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 DIZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, 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 DIZ 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 DIZ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 DIZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DIZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
