How to open PZT file?
The most common problem when using GraphPad Prism Template is that a specific PZT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PZT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PZT 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. This can be achieved by typing GraphPad Prism into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open PZT file
Remember to download programs supporting PZT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GraphPad Prism with PZT files
If, despite the installed application, the PZT 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PZT 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The fault may also lie with the GraphPad Prism program, it is possible that GraphPad Prism Template requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the GraphPad Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PZT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The PZT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PZT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 PZT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PZT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PZT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PZT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting GraphPad Software, 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 PZT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PZT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PZT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PZT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PZT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
