Problem with CorelDRAW on Windows 8

I updated my computer to Windows 8 and it gave me no option about wanting a clean install. It just went ahead and made a clean install. All my programs had to be reinstalled. When I reinstalled CorelDRAW, it gives me the message that my application status can not be verified, even though I am registered and I can see the listing in my account at Corel.com. I am, therefore, unable to update the program. It is so frustrating, because I bought the DVD with book and I have the original DVD. Now, I have trouble getting any help from CorelDRAW because they want money to answer any questions whatsoever. Can anyone please help me sort this problem out?

  • Hello Tiger; I THINK it's a problem with the way the Windows registry handles the Corel program. Try putting the DVD in and at the install screen do a REMOVE to uninstall the program, then reinstall it. I Think if you had done the uninstall from the Windows Control Center before the Windows 8 install it would have let you reinstall Corel.
