Programs to open BV4 file
Remember to download programs supporting BV4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with BV4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BV4 file still does not use the WordPerfect Office program, it means no association. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BV4 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The fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel WordPerfect Overflow requires a newer version of the program.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 BV4 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The BV4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BV4 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BV4 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BV4 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 BV4 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BV4 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BV4 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the BV4 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BV4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BV4 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BV4 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
