your system.

malfunctions in the background.

damaged while you try extracting or compressing them.
Solution
This error can develop randomly while you work on your QB POS or when you try transferring 
the financial data to QuickBooks Desktop. You can rectify the QB POS error easily with the 
steps mentioned below-
Step 1-Uninstall ZIP Genius and reinstall it on your Windows
You mostly run into this issue when QuickBooks POS tries accessing the archived files during a 
financial exchange or when you compress your data with ZIP Genius. An error message, 
‘Invalid size or checksum,’ might come up on the screen if you haven’t updated the ZIP to its 
latest version, and it generates compatibility issues. You won’t be able to compress your POS 
data into .ZIP, .SITX, .RAR or .GIZ formats. If you try continuously, the software will start lagging 
or showcase a sudden crash. You must remove/uninstall ZIP Genius from your PC to prevent 
issues during the financial exchange-
• Go to the Windows Start menu or use the search bar to launch the control panel.
• Navigate to the Program and Features option and click the Add or Remove 
Programs option.
• Search for ZIP Genius in the applications list and highlight it with a click.
• Tap Uninstall/Remove and use the directions on the screen to uninstall ZIP.
• Wait until the program is uninstalled and reboot your system.
