What is XG7 file?
The file in the XG7 format belongs to the Misc Files category. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Corel Paradox Data Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Corel Paradox. This was created by Corel Corporation.
How to open XG7 file?
The main problem with Corel Paradox Data Format is that the XG7 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that XG7 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XG7 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 Paradox
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Corel Paradox is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Corel Paradox in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XG7 with Corel Paradox. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XG7 files.
Programs to open XG7 file
Remember to download programs supporting XG7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel Paradox with XG7 files
If, despite the installed application, the XG7 file does not start in the Corel Paradox application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Corel Paradox application as the default for handling the XG7 file.
Step 3. Update Corel Paradox to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Corel Paradox program with the Corel Paradox Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 XG7 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The XG7 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XG7 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 XG7 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected XG7 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XG7 files changes over time. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XG7 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XG7 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XG7 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XG7 to close. However, some background programs may block the XG7 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
