How to open FRS file?
An often recurring problem with Corel WordPerfect Screen Font Resource Format is that FRS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that FRS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FRS 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. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect Office into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support FRS files.
Programs to open FRS file
Remember to download programs supporting FRS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with FRS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FRS file to open in the WordPerfect Office 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the FRS file.
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lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel WordPerfect Screen Font Resource Format requires a newer version of the program.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 FRS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FRS 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. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FRS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FRS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FRS 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FRS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel, 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 FRS 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FRS to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FRS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FRS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
