Programs to open Z13 file
Remember to download programs supporting Z13 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with Z13 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the Z13 file to open in the WinZip application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Z13 file with the WinZip program.
Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinZip with Split Multi-volume ZIP Compressed Format Archive (part 14) there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the WinZip Computing, S.L. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Z13 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the Z13 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our Z13 file. However, remember that not every infected Z13 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 Z13 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular Z13 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact WinZip Computing, S.L.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted Z13 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the Z13 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the Z13 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the Z13 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
