Reasons
This error mostly comes up when you try adding or accessing your archived files in the QuickBooks POS. Here are the most potential reasons your QB POS deals with this issue while running a financial exchange-
- The ZIP Genius program on your Windows has stopped working in the background or isn’t updated for a long time.
- Your archived files in the software are damaged and turned into a format unsupported for the software.
- QuickBooks POS struggles while accessing the archived files due to Windows Firewall restrictions.
Solution
After this error develops, you’ll be completely forbidden from opening your archived files or using their data. You can use the steps given underneath to resolve this problem from QB POS-
Step 1-Remove ZIP Genius from your Windows
This error can develop when you try opening your archived data or when you try to compress your data using ZIP Genius. This program might be incompatible with your QB POS due to an obsolete version or damaged installation on your device. You’ll see an error message, “Invalid size or checksum,” when you try to compress your archived data into .ZIP, .RAR, .SITX, or .GZ. This’ll cause your QB POS to freeze or crash, and you won’t be able to run the financial exchange with the QuickBooks Desktop. You must completely remove ZIP Genius from your PC to ensure QB doesn’t face issues while changing the format of the files. Refer to these steps-
- Use the Windows Start menu or the search bar to go to the control panel.
- Click the Program and Features option and select Add or Remove Programs.
- Go through the programs list that appears on the screen and find ZIP Genius.
- Single-click on it and select Uninstall/Remove.
- Follow the directions given on the screen to remove ZIP Genius from your PC
Let the program get uninstalled and reopen your PC.
If you face the error again while accessing QB POS archive files, move to the next solution.
Step 2- Download the newest version of ZIP Genius on your PC
You can also encounter this issue due to the outdated ZIP genius version, which might develop issues while running QB POS functions. Follow these steps to install ZIP Genius again-
- Go to the official ZIP Genius website and access the Downloads section.
- Check the system requirements of all the ZIP versions and download the most suitable one for your PC.
- Install ZIP Genius on your PC using the installation package you downloaded and open the program when it is completely installed.
