How to open ZAM file?
The most common problem when using ZTreeWin Application Menu is that a specific ZAM is not associated with the program. This causes the file ZAM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZAM 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 ZTreeWin
In this case, you should first verify that the ZTreeWin application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ZTreeWin into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZAM files.
Programs to open ZAM file
Remember to download programs supporting ZAM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZTreeWin with ZAM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZAM file to open in the ZTreeWin 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ZAM file with the ZTreeWin application.
Step 3. Update ZTreeWin to the latest version
If, however, after binding ZTreeWin with ZTreeWin Application Menu there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the ZTree website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZAM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ZAM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZAM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZAM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZAM files changes over time. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZAM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use ZTree help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZAM 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ZAM 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZAM file again. However, some background programs may block the ZAM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
