How to open ZALOHA file?

The main problem with Miranda IM Backup is that the ZALOHA file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ZALOHA, 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 ZALOHA 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 Miranda IM

In this case, you should first verify that the Miranda IM application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Miranda IM into the system search engine. 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 ZALOHA files.

Programs to open ZALOHA file

Remember to download programs supporting ZALOHA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Miranda IM with ZALOHA files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZALOHA file to open in the Miranda IM application, but you can set it manually. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Miranda IM application as the default for handling the ZALOHA file.

Step 3. Update Miranda IM to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Miranda IM program with the Miranda IM Backup file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Miranda IM Project website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZALOHA file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The ZALOHA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZALOHA file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 ZALOHA file. However, remember that not every infected ZALOHA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZALOHA files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZALOHA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Miranda IM Project
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZALOHA 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. If possible, you can try to move the ZALOHA file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZALOHA to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
