How to open SZ file?

An often recurring problem with Winamp Classic Skin Download is that SZ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SZ 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 SZ 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 Winamp

In this case, you should first verify that the Winamp application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Winamp into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SZ files.

Programs to open SZ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Winamp with SZ files

If, despite the installed application, the SZ file does not start in the Winamp 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SZ file with the Winamp application.

Step 3. Update Winamp to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Winamp program, it is possible that Winamp Classic Skin Download requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Radionomy page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SZ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The SZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SZ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SZ file. 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 ability to automatically repair SZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Nullsoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SZ 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SZ file to another location will fix the problem.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file SZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SZ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
