How to open FZY file?
The main problem with LexisNexis Concordance Fuzzy is that the FZY file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FZY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FZY 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 Concordance
In this case, you should first verify that the Concordance application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Concordance into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FZY files.
Programs to open FZY file
Remember to download programs supporting FZY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Concordance with FZY files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FZY file to open in the Concordance application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 FZY file with the Concordance application.
Step 3. Update Concordance to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Concordance program with the LexisNexis Concordance Fuzzy 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 LexisNexis website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FZY file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The FZY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FZY 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FZY file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FZY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FZY file. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FZY file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LexisNexis
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FZY 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 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. It is best to move FZY to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FZY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
