WiZiX Technology - About - Official printer copier dealers & document management software provider to businesses in Sacramento, Bay Area & Fresno. The inability to open and operate the ZIX file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the WinZix Compressed Archive Format file. Below is a list of possible problems. Corruption of a ZIX file which is being opened. Should I remove WinZip by WinZip Computing? WinZip is a proprietary file archiver and compressor that creates archives in the ZIP file format but also has various levels of support for other archive formats. WinZix is a corrupt file compression utility. WinZix is designed to compress computer files with a.zix extension. For proper decompression of these files the user must download and install WinZix. Though WinZix may seem a legitimate application, it comes bundled with Trojans and other malicious parasites. WinZix may propagate its zix files through BitTorrent network and other and file sharing.
Other possible reasons why your .ZIX file does not want to open
In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .ZIX file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:
1. Incorrect version of the installed application
A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .ZIX file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .ZIX file, so download the update and check again.
2. Incorrect .ZIX file association with the program
If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to 'show' which program the computer should use. To do this:
- Right-click the .ZIX file
- Go to the 'Open with' - then 'Choose default program ...'
- Locate the appropriate application
- Click 'OK'
3. The file is corrupt
It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
