How to open ZPRF file?

The main problem with ZipIt Preference is that the ZPRF file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ZPRF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ZipIt is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ZipIt into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZPRF files.

Programs to open ZPRF file

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

Step 2. Create association of ZipIt with ZPRF files

If, despite the installed application, the ZPRF file does not start in the ZipIt 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 ZPRF file with the ZipIt program.

Step 3. Update ZipIt to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ZipIt program with the ZipIt Preference file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Tom Brown website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZPRF 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 ZPRF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ZPRF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 ZPRF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZPRF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZPRF 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZPRF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Tom Brown help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZPRF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ZPRF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZPRF to close. 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.
