Programs to open YG1 file

Remember to download programs supporting YG1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with YG1 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the YG1 file to open in the WordPerfect Office application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the YG1 file with the WordPerfect Office application.

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The fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel Paradox Secondary Index requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YG1 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to YG1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the YG1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected YG1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the YG1 file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged YG1 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted YG1 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the YG1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the YG1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the YG1 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
