Remember to download programs supporting LPZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SIMPL Windows with LPZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LPZ file still does not use the SIMPL Windows program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LPZ file with the SIMPL Windows application.
Step 3. Update SIMPL Windows to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SIMPL Windows program, it is possible that SIMPL Windows Program Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Crestron Electronics, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LPZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The LPZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LPZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LPZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LPZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LPZ 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 LPZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LPZ 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move LPZ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 LPZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
