Programs to open Z96 file
Remember to download programs supporting Z96 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PowerArchiver with Z96 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the Z96 file still does not use the PowerArchiver program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Z96 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The Z96 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to Z96 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our Z96 file. Sometimes virus-infected Z96 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of Z96 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged Z96 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ConeXware, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file Z96 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move Z96 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the Z96 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file Z96 to close. However, some background programs may block the Z96 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
