Hello
I do have problem with my newly installed CorelDraw X5. Before X5 we used Corel 12 in our company.
I have project file (150 MB) with lots of text, bitmaps, vectors - about 100 pages. File opens but I can't save it. I always get OUT OF MEMORY error. I even tried to divide this file into 2 smaller parts but still doesn't work.
What I noticed - Corel X5 after clean start (without opened project) takes about 80MB of RAM in task manager. When I open project usage changes from 80MB to 1,2GB. While saving it takes 1,6GB of RAM and it crashes.
To compare - Corel 12 and after opening same project file Corel 12 takes much less of memory - about 770MB and it works without problem.
Where from comes this memory usage difference? Any solutions?
My PC:
Windows 7 - 32bit
4GB of RAM
Intel Core2Duo 2 x 3.0GHz
700GB free space on drive C:
Please help. I've read milion other posts about corel memory errors and noting workes for me :( I have no hope :(
Hello michasiek; You might want to make sure that you do not have any other programs running when you open a file that is that large. cut back on the things Windows uses ram for.
My Thoughts George
what suggestions given by you are not suitable. Its consuming absolutely high memory and even files are not opening sometimes. There is a very big problem with X5.

Sorry, but I believe that this suggestion is right for 99% of the similar problems. Not all, of course, but it's the best advice for all users, no matter if they have problems or not. All people must check (and delele) if there was too much color styles or saved views. You rpogram will work fast and better.
If it's not the solution, perhaps it's relative to the operating system. You need to use the Windows Virtual Memory (the swap file) for enhance the performance, if you have a little virtual memeory you will have memory error. What you need is not only more free RAM, it's about free system rsources. Some programs (such as some antivirus) requires a lot of system resources.
