Programs to open YG8 file
Remember to download programs supporting YG8 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel Paradox with YG8 files
If, despite the installed application, the YG8 file does not start in the Corel Paradox application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 YG8 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. 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 YG8 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The YG8 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to YG8 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file YG8 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover YG8 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of YG8 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular YG8 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file YG8 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the YG8 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 YG8 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the YG8 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
