Common Problems Opening LZS Files
ZipZag Removed
When trying to open your LZS file, you get the error "Can't Open LZS File Type". Customarily, this means that ZipZag is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your LZS because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you don't have ZipZag installed, and you know of another program to open your LZS file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Outdated ZipZag
Sometimes your installed version of ZipZag won't support your LARC Compressed File Archive file. Installing the latest version of ZipZag from Open Source is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a LARC Compressed File Archive file version that was created by a newer version of ZipZag than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your LZS file and clicking "Properties".
Summary: Not having the right ZipZag version on your computer can cause problems opening LZS files.
