How to open X03 file?
An often recurring problem with Corel Paradox Secondary Index is that X03 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file X03 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the X03 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WordPerfect Office is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WordPerfect Office 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 X03 files.
Programs to open X03 file
Remember to download programs supporting X03 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with X03 files
If, despite the installed application, the X03 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the X03 file.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with Corel Paradox Secondary Index 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 X03 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the X03 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the X03 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected X03 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of X03 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular X03 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted X03 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.
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. It is best to move X03 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the X03 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file X03 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
