This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BCF 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 Business Card Designer Pro

Step 2. Create association of Business Card Designer Pro with BCF files
If, despite the installed application, the BCF file does not start in the Business Card Designer Pro application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Business Card Designer Pro application as the default for handling the BCF file.
Step 3. Update Business Card Designer Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Business Card Designer Pro program with the Business Card Designer Pro 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 Belltech Systems, LLC website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BCF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BCF file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BCF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BCF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BCF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BCF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Belltech Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BCF 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BCF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BCF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BCF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BCF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
