Remember to download programs supporting ZBD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Zoom Browser with ZBD files
If, despite the installed application, the ZBD file does not start in the Zoom Browser application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Zoom Browser application as the default for handling the ZBD file.
Step 3. Update Zoom Browser to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Zoom Browser program with the Canon Zoom Browser Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZBD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZBD file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZBD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZBD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZBD file. 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.
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 ZBD files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZBD 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. It is best to move ZBD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ZBD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZBD file again. However, some background programs may block the ZBD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
