Since I'm getting this several times a day, is Corel planning to fix this, refund our money or what?
It happens when I go to print and even when it has been open with no activity for 15-20 minutes.
Hi,
Not sure what you mean? Do you have 6.1 installed? Are you saying when you hit print the program closes? When you simply leave it on and alone it closes?
Need more details. This is not happening here at all.
I'm using a new Lenovo W520, 16 gb ram with everything updated. 64 bit. 7pro.
Printing to an HP 1600 Color Laserjet which I have used for years. Set to recommendations from David Milisock
The problem started some months ago on the same kind of work i've done for years without crashing. No other app stops working.
Googling it, I find complaints going back for months, some from 2011 with no solutions.

we can't help you unless you can be more specific. is one file giving you a provlem? an action? all files? have you installed the first service pack?
give us something to work with here.
It happens on all my graphic work so it isn't a problem with a specific file. Often, but not always, its when you press "print".
Once, while sitting unused on my extra screen, it crashed A few times it was when anything was moved or clicked on.
Some other complaints are getting this problem with X5 and a few have suggested W7 causes it.
Service pack installed and it crashed right after. The crashes wipe out the current file and even saved versions of it along with other work.
When it started Corel went into a "not responding" mode which some users thought was a memory problem.
I recall Dave Milisock writing that he has 32gb of ram and the program worked like a rocket.. I noticed with 16gb of ram the Not Responding lasts only a few seconds. I have an extra 8gb to install as well.
The problem seemed to go away with the new Lenovo but reappeared at random.
The warning says Corel Draw x6 has stopped working. Windows will try to find out why and notify you if a solution is found"
I have reinstalled X6 and run repair to no avail.
I am seeing windows explorer crashing randomly on win7 64 bit and requiring windows explorer to restart. No pattern, on and off stuff, sounds like your Lenovo. Wonder if that is doing it?
One response on another forum claimed Aero is rsponsible.
An odd thing happening at the same time is a ghost image left behind - its the right hand and bottom shadow lines from the text edit box, looking like an L facing left.
It stays on the second screen until I close Corel.
just got it again after I printed the file- a few minutes later, crash, file gone.
If you have been experiencing issues for several months now it may be difficult to trace back. It is possible you installed something which is conflicting with CorelDraw. I had an issue some time ago with X5. Draw had always been reliable and one day I installed a free program someone had recommended (I can't remember what it was or what it even did) and the next day I fired up Draw and it crashed as soon as it reached the Welcome Screen. It did this every time I restarted it. I didn't even connect it to the program I had installed, so I ran a System Restore (full system restore from a backup!!) and it was back to normal. Then I thought, oh I will have to reinstall that free program again.... and bingo, Draw was crashing on startup again. I uninstalled the other program and Draw was fine.
Maybe you installed something months back and that caused your issues?
Thanks Brian,
Corel crashed twice more after I posted that warning box. Once after I tried to print . I opened it again and printed the same thing with no problem.
It doesn't seem to be a clash because of the odd random way it stops. I downloaded the HP drivers just to be sure they were clean.
