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

Step 2. Create association of Zerene Stacker with ZSJ files

If, despite the installed application, the ZSJ file does not start in the Zerene Stacker 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The fault may also lie with the Zerene Stacker program, it is possible that Zerene Stacker Project Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Zerene Systems LLC website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ZSJ 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZSJ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZSJ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZSJ 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZSJ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZSJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ZSJ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ZSJ 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 ZSJ file again. However, some background programs may block the ZSJ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
