How to open HZ file?
The main problem with Chinese (Hanzi) Text is that the HZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that HZ 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 HZ 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 MacViewHZ
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MacViewHZ is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MacViewHZ 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support HZ files.
Programs to open HZ file
Remember to download programs supporting HZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MacViewHZ with HZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HZ file to open in the MacViewHZ 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 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MacViewHZ application as the default for handling the HZ file.
Step 3. Update MacViewHZ to the latest version
If, however, after binding MacViewHZ with Chinese (Hanzi) Text there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The HZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HZ 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HZ file. However, remember that not every infected HZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HZ file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HZ file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HZ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. If possible, you can try to move the HZ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HZ file again. However, some background programs may block the HZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
