How to open BV1 file?

The main problem with Corel WordPerfect Overflow is that the BV1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BV1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BV1 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BV1 with WordPerfect Office. Below you will find a list of applications that support BV1 files.

Programs to open BV1 file

Remember to download programs supporting BV1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with BV1 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BV1 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 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 WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the BV1 file.

Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version

If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with Corel WordPerfect Overflow there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 BV1 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The BV1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BV1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BV1 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BV1 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BV1 file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BV1 file corruption. 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 file BV1 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BV1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BV1 file again. However, some background programs may block the BV1 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
