Troubleshooting Problems Opening AZF Files

Common Problems Opening AZF Files

AirZip FileSECURE Reader is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open AZF Files" when trying to open your AZF. If so, it typically means that you don't have AirZip FileSECURE Reader installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your AZF with AirZip FileSECURE Reader, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your AZF, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

AirZip FileSECURE Reader is Out-of-Date

It is possible that your version of AirZip FileSECURE Reader isn't able to open your AirZip FileSECURE File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest AirZip FileSECURE Reader version from the AirZip, Inc. website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This issue mainly occurs when your AirZip FileSECURE File file was created by a newer version of AirZip FileSECURE Reader than you have on your PC.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the AZF file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening AZF files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.

Other AZF File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right AirZip FileSECURE Reader version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening AZF files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening AZF files. These issues include:

• File references in the Windows Registry for AZF are wrong
• Unintentional removal of the description of the AZF file inside the Windows Registry
• Corrupt install of AirZip FileSECURE Reader or other AZF-related program
• Your AZF file is corrupted (issues with your AirZip FileSECURE File file itself)
• The AZF is infected with a virus
• AZF-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Windows cannot load your AirZip FileSECURE File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
