How to open PZM file?
The most common problem when using GraphPad Prism Project is that a specific PZM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PZM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PZM 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 GraphPad Prism
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GraphPad Prism is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GraphPad Prism 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 PZM with GraphPad Prism. Below is a list of programs that support the file PZM.
Programs to open PZM file
Remember to download programs supporting PZM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GraphPad Prism with PZM files
If, despite the installed application, the PZM file does not start in the GraphPad Prism 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 PZM file with the GraphPad Prism application.
Step 3. Update GraphPad Prism to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GraphPad Prism program, it is possible that GraphPad Prism Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the GraphPad Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PZM 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 PZM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PZM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PZM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PZM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PZM 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PZM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use GraphPad Software, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PZM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PZM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PZM file again. However, some background programs may block the PZM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
