How to open BK5 file?
An often recurring problem with Corel WordPerfect Document Backup is that BK5 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BK5, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BK5 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WordPerfect Office 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BK5 files.
Programs to open BK5 file
Remember to download programs supporting BK5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with BK5 files
If, despite the installed application, the BK5 file does not start in the WordPerfect Office application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BK5 file with the WordPerfect Office program.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel WordPerfect Document Backup requires a newer version of the program. 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 BK5 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The BK5 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BK5 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BK5 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BK5 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BK5 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BK5 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BK5 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BK5 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BK5 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BK5 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
