How to open CLK file?
An often recurring problem with Corel R.A.V.E Project Format is that CLK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CLK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CLK 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CorelDRAW is installed on the computer. 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CLK files.
Programs to open CLK file
Remember to download programs supporting CLK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with CLK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CLK file to open in the CorelDRAW application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CorelDRAW application as the default for handling the CLK file.
Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CorelDRAW program, it is possible that Corel R.A.V.E Project Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CLK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to CLK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CLK file. Sometimes virus-infected CLK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CLK 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CLK files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CLK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the CLK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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 CLK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CLK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
