This causes the file ZM9 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZM9 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 WinZip

Programs to open ZM9 file
Remember to download programs supporting ZM9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with ZM9 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZM9 file still does not use the WinZip program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZM9 file with the WinZip program.
Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinZip with ZoneAlarm MailSafe Renamed Zip Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the WinZip Computing, S.L. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZM9 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 ZM9 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ZM9 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZM9 file. However, remember that not every infected ZM9 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 ZM9 file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZM9 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Check Point Software Technologies, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZM9 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 ZM9 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZM9 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
