Programs to open Z16 file
Remember to download programs supporting Z16 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with Z16 files
If, despite the installed application, the Z16 file does not start in the WinZip application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinZip application as the default for handling the Z16 file.
Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the WinZip Computing, S.L. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Z16 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the Z16 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the Z16 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected Z16 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the Z16 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair Z16 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use WinZip Computing, S.L. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file Z16 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the Z16 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the Z16 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
