Programs to open DOCKZIP file
Remember to download programs supporting DOCKZIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ObjectDock with DOCKZIP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DOCKZIP file to open in the ObjectDock application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DOCKZIP file with the ObjectDock application.
Step 3. Update ObjectDock to the latest version
If, however, after binding ObjectDock with ObjectDock 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 Stardock Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DOCKZIP 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DOCKZIP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DOCKZIP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DOCKZIP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DOCKZIP files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DOCKZIP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Stardock, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DOCKZIP 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DOCKZIP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DOCKZIP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DOCKZIP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
