I have been using Corel for more than 17 years; first time I have this problem (running Vista Office, Professional): All brush functions are affected: When I left click to anchor the brush, the cursor jumps diagonally up and the line is drawn from this new position to where the brush is currently. See pic. The cursor was at A when I left clicked the mouse, then jumped to B and simultaneously draw the stroke to A.
I reloaded Corel entirely, but problem persists.
Any help?
Hi all,
I got the same problem. Cursor jumps diagonaly to bottom right. And it jumps the same "screen distantion". Means, jump did not depends of zoom, tool etc.
My system: Dell Inspiron 1526, USB mouse (but trackpad does the same), Windows Vista Home edition, X3.
Looks like a problem with Vista drivers...
What are your hardware ?
Yes this is exactly my problem. I Work on a Acere TravelMate 6291 with wide screen (i e 9 by 16 format), screen . Iresolution, 1280 by 800. I use Vista professional.

After some additional research, I think I have found a Much better fix. This fix will allow you to run the higher DPI settings and still have PhotoPaint work just fine.. The fault lies in the "New" Font Scaling Engine shipped with Vista Vice Corel. I haven't evaluated anything in depth to see what, if any, additional side affects may result. Hopefully none...
Here's the fix:
1- Follow steps above to get to DPI settings window
2- Click on "Custom DPI.." in lower right corner of window
3- In the window that opens, Check the "Use Windows XP style DPI Scaling"
4- Click OK and reboot your system.
Here's a screen shot of the settings...:
I am SO GLAD someone was able to figure this problem out, as I was extremely irritated the I seemingly could not use PhotoPaint X4 on my newly purchased ASUS Slate EP121. I thank all that have toiled with this problem in order to get an answer!!!
