What is CCK file?

This is a program created by Corel Corporation.

How to open CCK file?

An often recurring problem with Corel Clipart is that CCK is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CCK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CCK 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 CorelDRAW

The first step is to check if the computer has the CorelDRAW program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CorelDRAW in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CCK files.

Programs to open CCK file

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

Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with CCK files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CCK file to open in the CorelDRAW 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 CCK file with the CorelDRAW program.

Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CorelDRAW program with the Corel Clipart file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The CCK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CCK file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CCK file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CCK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CCK files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CCK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CCK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CCK file to another location.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file CCK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CCK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
