How to open ZBP file?
The main problem with Boardmaker Board Package is that the ZBP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ZBP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZBP 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 Boardmaker
In this case, you should first verify that the Boardmaker application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Boardmaker 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 ZBP files.
Programs to open ZBP file
Remember to download programs supporting ZBP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Boardmaker with ZBP files
If, despite the installed application, the ZBP file does not start in the Boardmaker 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZBP file with the Boardmaker program.
Step 3. Update Boardmaker to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Boardmaker program with the Boardmaker Board Package 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 DynaVox Mayer-Johnson website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZBP 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ZBP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZBP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZBP 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 ZBP 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZBP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use DynaVox Mayer-Johnson help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ZBP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ZBP to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
