The main program that supports this format is Micro Poser. This was created by Smith Micro Software, Inc..
How to open PZR file?
The most common problem when using Poser Scene is that a specific PZR is not associated with the program. This causes the file PZR 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 PZR 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 Micro Poser
In this case, you should first verify that the Micro Poser application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Micro Poser into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PZR files.
Programs to open PZR file
Remember to download programs supporting PZR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Micro Poser with PZR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PZR file to open in the Micro Poser 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. 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Micro Poser application as the default for handling the PZR file.
Step 3. Update Micro Poser to the latest version
If, however, after binding Micro Poser with Poser Scene there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PZR 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PZR file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PZR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PZR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PZR 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PZR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Smith Micro Software, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PZR 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 PZR 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
