How to open G file?
The most common problem when using Corel Paradox Format is that a specific G is not associated with the program. This causes the file G to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the G file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install WordPerfect Office
In this case, you should first verify that the WordPerfect Office application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WordPerfect Office in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file G.
Programs to open G file
Remember to download programs supporting G files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with G files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the G file to open in the WordPerfect Office application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the G file.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WordPerfect Office program with the Corel Paradox Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the G file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The G file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the G file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file G or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected G files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the G files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged G files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted G files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the G file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the G file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the G file again. However, some background programs may block the G file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
