How to open Y09 file?

The main problem with Corel Paradox Secondary Index is that the Y09 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file Y09 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the Y09 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

In this case, you should first verify that the WordPerfect Office application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WordPerfect Office in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file Y09 with WordPerfect Office. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open Y09 files.

Programs to open Y09 file

Remember to download programs supporting Y09 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with Y09 files

If, despite the installed application, the Y09 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the Y09 file with the WordPerfect Office application.

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. 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 Y09 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the Y09 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our Y09 file. Sometimes virus-infected Y09 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the Y09 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair Y09 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file Y09 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. If possible, you can try to move the Y09 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file Y09 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the Y09 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
