How to open EVENT file?

The most common problem when using Corel Cataloged Folder Format is that a specific EVENT is not associated with the program. This causes the file EVENT 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 EVENT 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 PaintShop Pro

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PaintShop Pro is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PaintShop Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EVENT files.

Programs to open EVENT file

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

Step 2. Create association of PaintShop Pro with EVENT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EVENT file to open in the PaintShop Pro 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 PaintShop Pro application as the default for handling the EVENT file.

Step 3. Update PaintShop Pro to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the PaintShop Pro program, it is possible that Corel Cataloged Folder Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EVENT 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EVENT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 EVENT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EVENT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EVENT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 EVENT file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EVENT 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. It is best to move EVENT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EVENT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EVENT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
