Corel WordPerfect Driver Resource is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The WordPerfect Office application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Corel Corporation. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the DRS file.
How to open DRS file?
The main problem with Corel WordPerfect Driver Resource is that the DRS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DRS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DRS 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. This can be achieved by typing WordPerfect Office into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DRS with WordPerfect Office. Below you will find a list of applications that support DRS files.
Programs to open DRS file
Remember to download programs supporting DRS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with DRS files
If, despite the installed application, the DRS file does not start in the WordPerfect Office application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DRS file with the WordPerfect Office application.
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fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel WordPerfect Driver Resource requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Corel Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DRS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DRS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DRS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DRS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DRS files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 option of recovering data from damaged DRS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DRS 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.
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 DRS 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
