How to open ZEG file?

An often recurring problem with ZeroG Subtitles Format is that ZEG is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ZEG 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 ZEG 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 Subtitle Workshop

The first step is to check if the computer has the Subtitle Workshop program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Subtitle Workshop in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZEG.

Step 2. Create association of Subtitle Workshop with ZEG files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZEG file still does not use the Subtitle Workshop program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 ZEG file with the Subtitle Workshop program.

Step 3. Update Subtitle Workshop to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Subtitle Workshop program with the ZeroG Subtitles Format 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 Subtitle Workshop team website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZEG 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ZEG 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 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZEG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZEG 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 ZEG file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZEG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZEG 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ZEG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ZEG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZEG to close. However, some background programs may block the ZEG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
