How to open ZMD file?
The most common problem when using ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed OCX is that a specific ZMD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ZMD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZMD 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 ZoneAlarm Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the ZoneAlarm Pro application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ZoneAlarm Pro into the operating system search engine. 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 ZMD.
Programs to open ZMD file
Remember to download programs supporting ZMD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZMD files
If, despite the installed application, the ZMD file does not start in the ZoneAlarm Pro application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZMD file with the ZoneAlarm Pro program.
Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ZoneAlarm Pro program with the ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed OCX file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZMD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The ZMD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZMD 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZMD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZMD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ZMD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZMD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZMD 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. If possible, you can try to move the ZMD file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZMD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
