DirectorZone Particle Effect Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open DZP file?

An often recurring problem with DirectorZone Particle Effect Format is that DZP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DZP, 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 DZP 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PowerDirector in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support DZP files.

Programs to open DZP file

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

Step 2. Create association of PowerDirector with DZP files

If, despite the installed application, the DZP file does not start in the PowerDirector application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DZP file with the PowerDirector application.

Step 3. Update PowerDirector to the latest version

If, despite the association of the PowerDirector program with the DirectorZone Particle Effect Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CyberLink Corp. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DZP 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 DZP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DZP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DZP file. However, remember that not every infected DZP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DZP files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DZP 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DZP 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DZP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DZP to close. However, some background programs may block the DZP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
