Crash on Startup "Creating Application Environment" Coreldraw has stopped working

I haven't used Draw x5 in a couple weeks, but now every time it starts it gets to "Creating Application Environment" and crashes with the error "CorelDraw has stopped working".  I'm running this on a MacBook Pro, Bootcamp, Windows 7 64.

UPDATE:  I found a fix.  The latest Bootcamp update disables a keyboard setting in Windows.  To fix:

  1. Open Control Panel
  2. In view mode "View by Category", find the section "Clock, Language and Region"
  3. Click "Change Keyboards or other input methods"
  4. Press the button "Change Keyboards"
  5. Press the button "Add"
  6. Scroll down to "English (United States)" and expand. 
  7. Check box "US"
  8. Press OK.
  9. Press OK. -- You'll see two keyboards listed "US" and "United States (Apple)"
  10. Press OK.

 

 

Here's what I've tried so far

  • Did an install repair
  • Uninstall and reinstall
  • startup with f8 to reset workspace
  • manually removed folder in AppData
  • uninstalled Adobe Acrobat
  • rolled back bootcamp drivers to original
  • updated graphics card driver
  • did a disk scan for errors
  • uninstalled all fonts
  • Tried every compatibility mode from win98 to vista
