How to open WKQ file?
The main problem with Corel Quattro Pro For MS-DOS Spreadsheet is that the WKQ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WKQ 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 WKQ 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 Quattro Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the Corel Quattro Pro application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Corel Quattro Pro into the operating 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 WKQ files.
Programs to open WKQ file
Remember to download programs supporting WKQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel Quattro Pro with WKQ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WKQ file to open in the Corel Quattro 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WKQ file with the Corel Quattro Pro application.
Step 3. Update Corel Quattro Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Corel Quattro Pro program, it is possible that Corel Quattro Pro For MS-DOS Spreadsheet requires a newer version of the program.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 WKQ 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WKQ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WKQ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WKQ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WKQ file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WKQ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WKQ 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the WKQ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WKQ 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. However, some background programs may block the WKQ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
