How to open ZZD file?

An often recurring problem with FutureSoft MultiView Wizard Defaults is that ZZD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ZZD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MultiView is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MultiView into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ZZD with MultiView. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZZD files.

Programs to open ZZD file

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

Step 2. Create association of MultiView with ZZD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZZD file to open in the MultiView application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 ZZD file with the MultiView program.

Step 3. Update MultiView to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the MultiView program, it is possible that FutureSoft MultiView Wizard Defaults requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the FutureSoft, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZZD 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 ZZD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZZD 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 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 ZZD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ZZD 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 ZZD 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZZD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact FutureSoft, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZZD 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.
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. It is best to move ZZD to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZZD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZZD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
