Step 2. Create association of Zoo Tycoon 2 with Z2F files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the Z2F file still does not use the Zoo Tycoon 2 program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Z2F 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 Z2F file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to Z2F files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our Z2F file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover Z2F files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of Z2F file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular Z2F file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted Z2F 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the Z2F file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file Z2F to close. However, some background programs may block the Z2F file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
