Is Corel Support really this useless? I have a problem and they told me to reset my workspace. Terrific. Done. Problem still exists. They then tell me to send computer information back to them which I do. They respond again with, "reset your workspace". I already did that. I respond back to the email they send and tell them just that I already tried this and a couple days later I get an email saying they haven't heard back from me. I reply back to the email and get this in response:
Thank you for reaching out to Corel. We would like to inform you that this email address isn't maintained anymore.

What is going on? I still can't fix my problem.
It was the even versions David. I started with v3, then v5,v7, v9. Then something happened and I can't recall what but I skipped v11 and v12 was excellent. X5 was good as was x7.
Yes, I can't remember which it was but the reputation has existed forever!
I just remembered back in the day before I reorganized my business and I still had to buy Adobe products. Illustrator 9, the transparency was so bad that the only fix was to buy Illustrator 10.
David Milisock said:First thing I think of is that I've been hearing they same things said about CorelDRAW for 30 years. There have been some very bad versions, in fact there was (and I can't remember if it was odd or even) a reputation for every other version being goog the in-between versions were awful.
The situation today is very different. Sure, some versions of CorelDRAW in the past have been buggy. But back when CorelDRAW was on a roughly 2 year development cycle a new version of CorelDRAW was usually something to look forward to. And if they did release a crummy version a registered user always had the opportunity to skip it and wait another version or two before buying. Not anymore.
Today a new version release of CorelDRAW is mostly a non-event. Today it's just a reoccurring bill in return for little, if any improvement in the application. And that now-annual bill is considerably more costly. The price hikes really stink thanks to the lack of improvement. And it's not like they're having to ship retail boxes with printed manuals and mass replicated discs anymore.It looks like they're trying to turn the screws on customers even worse. I've noticed the "buy one time" perpetual license version in the Corel store is stuck at version 2021. It seems like they're even more determined to go purely subscription only with future releases. I can only see that ploy reducing the overall number of users.

I would not like CorelDraw to disappear. Affinity it's ok but need to grow, i don't like Adobe products, maybe some features from PS.
