How to open XMCDZ file?
The main problem with Mathcad Compressed Worksheet Format is that the XMCDZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open XMCDZ, 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 XMCDZ 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 Mathcad Prime
The first step is to check if the computer has the Mathcad Prime program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mathcad Prime in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support XMCDZ files.
Programs to open XMCDZ file
Remember to download programs supporting XMCDZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mathcad Prime with XMCDZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XMCDZ file still does not use the Mathcad Prime program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XMCDZ file with the Mathcad Prime program.
Step 3. Update Mathcad Prime to the latest version
If, however, after binding Mathcad Prime with Mathcad Compressed Worksheet Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMCDZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the XMCDZ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XMCDZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected XMCDZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XMCDZ 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XMCDZ file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XMCDZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the XMCDZ file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XMCDZ file again. However, some background programs may block the XMCDZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
