How to open VAL file?
An often recurring problem with Corel Paradox Validity Check Format is that VAL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open VAL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VAL 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the WordPerfect Office program installed. This can be achieved by typing WordPerfect Office 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 VAL.
Programs to open VAL file
Remember to download programs supporting VAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with VAL files
If, despite the installed application, the VAL file does not start in the WordPerfect Office application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the VAL 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may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel Paradox Validity Check Format requires a newer version of the program.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 VAL 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the VAL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 VAL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VAL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VAL 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 VAL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VAL 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. Copying the VAL file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VAL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VAL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
