How to open YG2 file?
The main problem with Corel Paradox Secondary Index is that the YG2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open YG2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YG2 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 it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file YG2.
Programs to open YG2 file
Remember to download programs supporting YG2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with YG2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the YG2 file still does not use the WordPerfect Office program, it means no 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the YG2 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The fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel Paradox Secondary Index requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Corel Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YG2 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 YG2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our YG2 file. Sometimes virus-infected YG2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of YG2 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YG2 file corruption. 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 YG2 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the YG2 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the YG2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YG2 file again. However, some background programs may block the YG2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
