How to open XG1 file?

The most common problem when using Corel Paradox Secondary Index is that a specific XG1 is not associated with the program. This causes the file XG1 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 XG1 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 you will find a list of applications that support XG1 files.

Programs to open XG1 file

Remember to download programs supporting XG1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with XG1 files

If, despite the installed application, the XG1 file does not start in the WordPerfect Office application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the XG1 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The fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel Paradox Secondary Index requires a newer version of the program.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 XG1 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 XG1 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XG1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XG1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XG1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 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 XG1 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XG1 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 XG1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XG1 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
