Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with X09 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the X09 file still does not use the WordPerfect Office program, it means no association.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to X09 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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.

Older version of X09 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 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 X09 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted X09 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the X09 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the X09 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 X09 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
