Zipkey Configuration is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Zipkey to handle this file. This is a program created by Eric Isaacson Software.
How to open ZC file?
The most common problem when using Zipkey Configuration is that a specific ZC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ZC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZC 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 Zipkey
The first step is to check if the computer has the Zipkey program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Zipkey in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZC files.
Programs to open ZC file
Remember to download programs supporting ZC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Zipkey with ZC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZC file to open in the Zipkey 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZC file with the Zipkey program.
Step 3. Update Zipkey to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Zipkey program with the Zipkey Configuration file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Eric Isaacson Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The ZC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZC file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZC 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 ability to automatically repair ZC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Eric Isaacson Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZC 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. Copying the ZC file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
