How to open PZO file?
The main problem with Pizazz Plus Overlay Data is that the PZO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PZO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PZO 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 Pizazz
In this case, you should first verify that the Pizazz application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Pizazz into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file PZO.
Programs to open PZO file
Remember to download programs supporting PZO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pizazz with PZO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PZO file still does not use the Pizazz 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 PZO file with the Pizazz program.
Step 3. Update Pizazz to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Pizazz program with the Pizazz Plus Overlay Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Application Techniques, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PZO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The PZO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PZO 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. 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 PZO file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PZO 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 PZO files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PZO files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Application Techniques, Inc., 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 PZO 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the PZO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 PZO file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PZO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
