The ZGM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZGM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZGM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ZGM 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 ZGM file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZGM files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZGM 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ZGM file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZGM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZGM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
