Programs to open YG7 file

Remember to download programs supporting YG7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Corel Paradox with YG7 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the YG7 file still does not use the Corel Paradox program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the YG7 file with the Corel Paradox application.

Step 3. Update Corel Paradox to the latest version

If, however, after binding Corel Paradox with Corel Paradox Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 YG7 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 YG7 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the YG7 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected YG7 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the YG7 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YG7 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 YG7 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 YG7 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the YG7 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file YG7 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
