Troubleshooting Problems Opening YG1 Files


Common YG1 Opening Problems

Corel WordPerfect X8 Disappeared

Double-clicking your YG1 file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open YG1 File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Corel WordPerfect X8 isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your YG1 file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you don't have Corel WordPerfect X8 installed, and you know of another program to open your YG1 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Outdated Corel WordPerfect X8

Sometimes your installed version of Corel WordPerfect X8 won't support your Corel Paradox Secondary Index file. Visit the Corel website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Corel WordPerfect X8. Most of the time your Corel Paradox Secondary Index file was created by a newer Corel WordPerfect X8 than what you have installed.


Tip: If you right-click on your YG1 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of YG1 file opening issues are due to not having the correct Corel WordPerfect X8 version installed.


Other YG1 File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right Corel WordPerfect X8 version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening YG1 files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening YG1s. Problems unrelated to software:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for YG1 are wrong
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry YG1 description
  • Corel WordPerfect X8 or another YG1 application experienced a flawed installation
  • The YG1 itself is corrupted
  • Malware-tainted YG1 file can't be opened
  • YG1-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Corel Paradox Secondary Index file

Poll: What file type do you use the most at work / in school?
