Understanding YZ Issues


Common Problems Opening YZ Files

YACC is Not Installed

Double-clicking your YZ file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open YZ File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have YACC for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your YZ with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When another YZ application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


YACC Requires Update

Your YAC Compressed File file is incompatible with YACC because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of YACC installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Right-clicking on your YZ, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening YZ files are due to having the incorrect version of YACC installed on your computer.


Other Causes of YZ File Opening Problems

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of YACC will resolve your issue. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening YZs. Additional factors include:

  • Invalid YZ file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • The YZ file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Corrupt install of YACC or other YZ-related program
  • Your YZ can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Malware-tainted YZ file can't be opened
  • Device drivers for YZ-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the YAC Compressed File format
