How to open PHZ file?
An often recurring problem with Algodoo Phun Compressed Phunlet is that PHZ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PHZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PHZ 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 Algodoo
In this case, you should first verify that the Algodoo application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Algodoo into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PHZ with Algodoo. Below is a list of programs that support the file PHZ.
Programs to open PHZ file
Remember to download programs supporting PHZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Algodoo with PHZ files
If, despite the installed application, the PHZ file does not start in the Algodoo application, you must create a file association. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PHZ file with the Algodoo application.
Step 3. Update Algodoo to the latest version
If, however, after binding Algodoo with Algodoo Phun Compressed Phunlet there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PHZ 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PHZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PHZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PHZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PHZ 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.
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 PHZ file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PHZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the PHZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PHZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PHZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PHZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
