How to open ZKX file?
An often recurring problem with ZixCorp Signature is that ZKX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ZKX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZKX 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 ZixCorp
The first step is to check if the computer has the ZixCorp program installed. To do this, enter the name ZixCorp into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZKX files.
Programs to open ZKX file
Remember to download programs supporting ZKX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZixCorp with ZKX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZKX file to open in the ZixCorp application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 ZKX file with the ZixCorp program.
Step 3. Update ZixCorp to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ZixCorp program, it is possible that ZixCorp Signature requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Zix Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZKX 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 ZKX 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZKX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ZKX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ZKX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZKX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Zix Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZKX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ZKX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ZKX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZKX file again. However, some background programs may block the ZKX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
