How to open ZXE file?

The main problem with ZX-Editor Second Edition Format is that the ZXE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ZXE 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 ZXE 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 ZX-Editor

The first step is to check if the computer has the ZX-Editor program installed. This can be achieved by typing ZX-Editor 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZXE files.

Programs to open ZXE file

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

Step 2. Create association of ZX-Editor with ZXE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZXE file still does not use the ZX-Editor program, it means no 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. 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 ZXE file with the ZX-Editor application.

Step 3. Update ZX-Editor to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ZX-Editor program, it is possible that ZX-Editor Second Edition Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ZX-Modules website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The ZXE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZXE file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZXE file. Sometimes virus-infected ZXE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZXE files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZXE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ZX-Modules, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZXE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ZXE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ZXE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZXE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZXE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
