ZED Troubleshooting


Troubles Opening ZED Files

Missing ZX-Editor

You attempt to load your ZED file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The ZED File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have ZX-Editor installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your ZED file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: Another ZED-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Wrong Version of ZX-Editor is Installed

Your ZX-Edit Document Block File file is incompatible with ZX-Editor because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of ZX-Editor installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your ZX-Edit Document Block File file was created by a different (newer) version of ZX-Editor than what's installed.


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


Primarily, problems experienced when opening ZED files are due to having the incorrect version of ZX-Editor installed on your computer.
