Programs to open ZDC file
Remember to download programs supporting ZDC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CD Catalog Expert with ZDC files
If, despite the installed application, the ZDC file does not start in the CD Catalog Expert application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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 CD Catalog Expert application as the default for handling the ZDC file.
Step 3. Update CD Catalog Expert to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CD Catalog Expert program with the CD Catalog Expert Database Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Zero2000 Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZDC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ZDC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZDC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZDC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ZDC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZDC 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZDC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Zero2000
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZDC 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ZDC 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZDC to close. However, some background programs may block the ZDC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
