Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZDS file

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ZDS 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. 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 ZDS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZDS 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 ZDS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZDS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZDS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ZDS 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZDS to close. However, some background programs may block the ZDS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
