How to open BPRC file?

An often recurring problem with Palm OS Desktop Data Format is that BPRC is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BPRC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPRC 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 Palm OS

The first step is to check if the computer has the Palm OS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Palm OS in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BPRC files.

Programs to open BPRC file

Remember to download programs supporting BPRC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Palm OS with BPRC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BPRC file to open in the Palm OS 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BPRC file with the Palm OS program.

Step 3. Update Palm OS to the latest version

If, however, after binding Palm OS with Palm OS Desktop Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Palm, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BPRC file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BPRC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BPRC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BPRC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BPRC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BPRC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BPRC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the BPRC file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BPRC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BPRC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
