How to open DZM file?

The most common problem when using DirectorZone Menu Template is that a specific DZM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DZM 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 DZM 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 PowerDirector

The first step is to check if the computer has the PowerDirector program installed. This can be achieved by typing PowerDirector 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 DZM files.

Programs to open DZM file

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

Step 2. Create association of PowerDirector with DZM files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DZM file to open in the PowerDirector application, but you can set it manually. 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 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 DZM file with the PowerDirector program.

Step 3. Update PowerDirector to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the PowerDirector program, it is possible that DirectorZone Menu Template requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the CyberLink Corp. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DZM file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DZM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 DZM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DZM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DZM 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DZM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CyberLink, 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 DZM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DZM to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DZM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
