How to open ZMI file?

An often recurring problem with ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed is that ZMI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ZMI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZMI 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the ZoneAlarm Pro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZoneAlarm Pro in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZMI files.

Programs to open ZMI file

Remember to download programs supporting ZMI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZMI files

If, despite the installed application, the ZMI file does not start in the ZoneAlarm Pro application, you must create a file 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ZMI file with the ZoneAlarm Pro application.

Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ZoneAlarm Pro program with the ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed 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 Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZMI file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The ZMI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ZMI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZMI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ZMI 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 ZMI file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZMI 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ZMI 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ZMI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZMI file again. However, some background programs may block the ZMI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
