Troubleshoot CPZ Files


Common Problems Opening CPZ Files

LoseThos Removed

When trying to open your CPZ file, you get the error "Can't Open CPZ File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because LoseThos isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your CPZ file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens CPZ files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


LoseThos is Out-of-Date

It is possible that your version of LoseThos isn't able to open your LoseThos C+ Source File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest LoseThos version from the Terry A. Davis website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is predominately due to having a LoseThos C+ Source File file version that was created by a newer version of LoseThos than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: If you right-click on your CPZ file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of CPZ file opening issues are due to not having the correct LoseThos version installed.


Other Causes of CPZ File Opening Problems

Even with the correct version of LoseThos installed, you can still experience difficulties opening CPZs. If you're still experiencing problems opening CPZ files, there could be other computer problems. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • CPZ file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the CPZ file in the Windows registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the CPZ format
  • Your CPZ file is corrupted (issues with your LoseThos C+ Source File file itself)
  • CPZ file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware associated with CPZ has outdated drivers
  • Windows cannot load your LoseThos C+ Source File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
