How to open LV file?

The main problem with Corel PaintShop Pro Data Format is that the LV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file LV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LV 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 Corel PaintShop Pro

In this case, you should first verify that the Corel PaintShop Pro application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Corel PaintShop Pro into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file LV.

Step 2. Create association of Corel PaintShop Pro with LV files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LV file still does not use the Corel PaintShop Pro program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LV file with the Corel PaintShop Pro program.

Step 3. Update Corel PaintShop Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Corel PaintShop Pro program with the Corel PaintShop Pro Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 LV 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LV files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LV 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LV file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LV file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
