File extension .Z01

File description

Z01 file format is related with WinZip compression utility. This file is created when data volume exceeds a certain limit and compression ratio is decreased.

In order to maintain the compression efficiency the compressed file is split into number of parts. The first part in the series has extension of Z01 and second part has extension Z02. These files are collectively known as split archive files. This allows the user to share the files with large amount of data over the internet easily. To extract the file completely all of the archive split files should be present during extraction process.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .Z01 file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .Z01 extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .Z01 file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .Z01 file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .Z01 file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .Z01 file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .Z01 file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .Z01 file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .Z01 file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .Z01 file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
