How to open WSK file?
The most common problem when using Whisset Media Player Skin is that a specific WSK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WSK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WSK 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 ZipZag
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ZipZag is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZipZag in it. 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 WSK.
Programs to open WSK file
Remember to download programs supporting WSK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZipZag with WSK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WSK file to open in the ZipZag application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WSK file with the ZipZag program.
Step 3. Update ZipZag to the latest version
If, however, after binding ZipZag with Whisset Media Player Skin there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Gabriel Valentin Cristescu website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WSK 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WSK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WSK file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WSK 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 WSK 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WSK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG, 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 file WSK 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WSK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WSK file again. However, some background programs may block the WSK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
