How to open PZS file?

The main problem with PhotoSuite Slide Show Format is that the PZS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PZS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PZS 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 PhotoShow

In this case, you should first verify that the PhotoShow application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PhotoShow into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PZS.

Programs to open PZS file

Remember to download programs supporting PZS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of PhotoShow with PZS files

If, despite the installed application, the PZS file does not start in the PhotoShow application, you must create a file association. 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 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 PZS file with the PhotoShow program.

Step 3. Update PhotoShow to the latest version

If, despite the association of the PhotoShow program with the PhotoSuite Slide Show Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PZS 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:

The PZS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PZS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PZS file. However, remember that not every infected PZS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PZS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 PZS files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PZS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PZS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PZS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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.
