How to open PGZ file?
The most common problem when using StreamLync Download Archives is that a specific PGZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PGZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PGZ 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 ZipZag
In this case, you should first verify that the ZipZag application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ZipZag into the system search engine.

Programs to open PGZ file
Remember to download programs supporting PGZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZipZag with PGZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PGZ file still does not use the ZipZag program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PGZ file with the ZipZag program.
Step 3. Update ZipZag to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ZipZag program with the StreamLync Download Archives file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Gabriel Valentin Cristescu website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PGZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 PGZ 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PGZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PGZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PGZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 PGZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PGZ 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 PGZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PGZ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PGZ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
