The new Corel X5 (with patches applied) is leaving lots of temp files in the Windows 7 local drive user\AppData\Local\Temp directory. By lots I mean hundreds of files that don't always go away when Corel is closed. As a result, I'm crashing on a regular basis in Corel. Sometimes the crash even corrupts the file. Is anyone else experiencing this difficulty? Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix it?
Which files is X5 leaving behind? Are they all VectUndoPalatte_n.xml (n being some digit value) files? Or are they some other file name(s)?
Have you tried cleaning out the system's %TEMP% directory? (user\AppData\Local\Temp)
The temp files it leaves are generally named beginning with crl(then a number like 8F36) and end with .tmp. Sometimes, after using Corel for a few hours and doing a lot of text and photo work, there will be over 100 tmp files left after exiting Corel. I hope they fix it. It crashes frequently so I have to keep constant track of the temp directory. I made a library so it's fast to get to it, but I hate crashing in the middle of a project, even though I'm a fanatic saver. Thanks for your response. I see by other responses that I'm not the only one having a problem.
