i am looking for a new feature or corel programmer to do hard work to solve this problem that appears in Cdraw. it shows temp drive full error or A.R.M. although everyday i clean up the temp before starting any application. my suggestions are:
it is really frustrating some time when we lose over unsaved data. because it does gives any option to saves as, any other different location etc.
HOPE IT WILL BE FINE IN THE NEXT RELEASE.
I have had this exact same problem but for very different reasons. I find the only time (though every time) I get this error I have imported a PDF item such as a map or plan. I've solved it by turning the item into a bitmap (although it may aready say that it is) and then it will save no problem. Good luck.
I had the same problem today with a complicated jpeg which I spent ages cropping, then when I tried to save got this error message about temp or output being full, tried Keachybean's solution of converting to bitmap, and it worked like a peach! No more lost data! Thanks Keachybean!
AndyBay: If you restore the temp files directory back to user/comp/appdata/local/temp, then reboot for that to take full effect. After you reboot, open up your windows Explorer (not IE) and enter '%temp%' (without the quotes), this will set your explorer pointing to your temp directory. Select everything in that directory and delete it, then empty the Trash Can.
Note that Windows will not allow you to delete an active temp file/directory, but those files left behind by other programs in the past will be deleted.
Windows tends to slow down, using too much resources, when the system temp directory starts getting too many files. Many applications do not delete their temp files when the application is closed, thus creating a ton of 'temp files' which are never removed.
No matter where you save your temp files, the main problem is to clean up the files. Some programs such as Ccleaner can help you. But the best advice is to allows Windows to manage the virtual memory (the swap file). A small wap file will produce the "temp drive full" warning message
I've run Ccleaner but I was looking for alternatives as I was still having problems while opening some files. I'm still having the same issue though, I thought I had it solved but I think I talked/typed too fast. ; [
I changed my default workspace as I remember having a similar problem before and this helping. I don't know what to do next, something else is my BFN is crashing as well. I'm sure is font related but don't know exactly what to do next, any suggestions?
I only have like 500 fonts installed, working on X4 on a Win 7 machine. I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks
The font navigator crashing sounds like a conflict with other software, such as Acrobat 8
Increase your virtual memory as much is possible. Do you use 32 or 64 bits version of Windows?
Run -- %temp%
Delete files
Turn off virtual memory
Check disks
Run -- %temp% [just to be sure]
Turn on virtual memory
I don't really think the problem is memory. My win 7 system is relatively new, and memory is not an issue. I have plenty or RAM and disk space. Looks more like a configuration problem, the issue arises as soon as I try to open a file that needs fonts to be installed through BFN, when I click to continue opening the file that's when it crashes. It just stays there and nothing happens. I think if I fix the problem with BFN it should get back to normal. Is there anyway to uninstall and reinstall BFN?
Ariel, I do have acrobat 9 full version but it has been working fine for a while now and no changes have been made, do you think I need a reinstall. It's a 64 bit version.
Andy, did you install Acrobat before or after you installed X5? (If it was after, you may need to do a Repair on the Corel X5 installation).
I found the problem and this time is for real. I just ran file/find fonts on BFN and that did the trick. I think it was all due to a bad font catalog file, as soon as it got replaced all the issues with corel and font navigator itself went away.
It was driving me crazy, every file having to install fonts was failing to open (about 90% of them) so it was no fun sitting with a customer waiting for a file to come up and nothing.
Thank you everyone who tried to help. I hope this will help others with similar issues in the future.

No I'm quite sure that you don't have any problem of memory (RAM), the problem is about the Virtual memory (a space of the hard disk that Windows use for temporary files) and about the free System's Resouces
Ariel,
What I was implying with that is I did not think it was a hardware or windows problem. I have been working with this computer without any major changes for a while with no issues of any kind of memory. This computer has been great so far and I use all kinds of applications on it on a daily basis with no problems whatsoever. I'm thinking signs of this kind of problem would be lagging, error messages, programs crashing, etc. which I have not experienced at all.
The reality is the main suspects are still BFN and Corel Draw, some kind of issue during the process where I open a file and it needs to invoke the fonts allocated in it. When the font dialog box shows up with the fonts included on the file, I know it's going to crash. Otherwise the same file opens directly without even asking about fonts.
By the way, the solution I thought I had found is only temporary. I'm still having the same problem only not every single time I open a file but still too often. I'm thinking on a complete CDR re-install. Any thoughts?
