Programs to open PKZ file
Remember to download programs supporting PKZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with PKZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PKZ file to open in the WinZip application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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.

If, despite the association of the WinZip program with the Kart Racing Pro Track file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the WinZip Computing, S.L. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PKZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PKZ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PKZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PKZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PKZ 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PKZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Piboso
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PKZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PKZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PKZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PKZ file again. However, some background programs may block the PKZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
