How to open MSZ file?
The most common problem when using MediaMonkey Skin is that a specific MSZ is not associated with the program. This causes the file MSZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MSZ 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 MediaMonkey
The first step is to check if the computer has the MediaMonkey program installed. To do this, enter the name MediaMonkey into the system search engine. 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 MSZ files.
Programs to open MSZ file
Remember to download programs supporting MSZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MediaMonkey with MSZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MSZ file to open in the MediaMonkey 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MediaMonkey application as the default for handling the MSZ file.
Step 3. Update MediaMonkey to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MediaMonkey program, it is possible that MediaMonkey Skin requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Ventis Media, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MSZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to MSZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 MSZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MSZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MSZ 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MSZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ventis Media, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MSZ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MSZ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MSZ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
