Programs to open WPG2 file
Remember to download programs supporting WPG2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with WPG2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WPG2 file still does not use the WordPerfect Office program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 WPG2 file with the WordPerfect Office program.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with Corel WordPerfect Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WPG2 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 WPG2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WPG2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 WPG2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WPG2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WPG2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WPG2 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WPG2 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WPG2 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WPG2 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WPG2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
