How to open UPJ file?

The most common problem when using Ulead Project is that a specific UPJ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open UPJ, 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 UPJ 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 Ulead PhotoImpact

In this case, you should first verify that the Ulead PhotoImpact application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Ulead PhotoImpact 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 UPJ with Ulead PhotoImpact. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UPJ files.

Step 2. Create association of Ulead PhotoImpact with UPJ files

If, despite the installed application, the UPJ file does not start in the Ulead PhotoImpact application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 Ulead PhotoImpact application as the default for handling the UPJ file.

Step 3. Update Ulead PhotoImpact to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Ulead PhotoImpact program, it is possible that Ulead Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The UPJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UPJ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UPJ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected UPJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of UPJ 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UPJ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UPJ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the UPJ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
