How to open ZCFG file?
An often recurring problem with Zoom Search Engine Configuration is that ZCFG is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ZCFG 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 ZCFG 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 Zoom
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Zoom is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Zoom in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ZCFG with Zoom. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZCFG.
Programs to open ZCFG file
Remember to download programs supporting ZCFG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Zoom with ZCFG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZCFG file still does not use the Zoom program, it means no association. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Zoom application as the default for handling the ZCFG file.
Step 3. Update Zoom to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Zoom program, it is possible that Zoom Search Engine Configuration requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Wrensoft website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZCFG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ZCFG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZCFG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZCFG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZCFG 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZCFG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Wrensoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZCFG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the ZCFG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZCFG file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZCFG file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
