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.

Hi,I havent had the problem myself, but one thing came to my mind: have you installed the SP1 ?(service pack).Copy & paste this link in the browser: coreldraw.com/files/folders/trials/entry27051.aspx
Hi Stefan, yes I did install Serice Pack 1. We really have exhausted all possibilities.

I found My problem.... Most of us are running large or widescreen monitors at high screen resolutions. To compensate for the resulting "Very" small screen print, we have set the Screen Font Size DPI to large, 120 dpi or higher... If I set my screen DPI back to the default "96 DPI" all is well in PhotoPaint.
Steps for Vista:
1-Right Click desktop
2- Select Personalize
3- Left Side of screen under "TASKS" select "Adjust Font Size DPI"
4- Set to Default.
5- Reboot for change to take affect.
This is Not the fix. Corel has a problem and they need to fix it.
Hope this helps everyone untill Corel recognizes they have a problem... This will probably fix both X3 and X4.....
ABsolutely brilliant, Nickhog! It works for me as well. You have found the origin of the problem. Now it is up to Corel to solve the problem. I have tried to log onto the website, but they do not reply for my requestg to have my password resent, despite numerous attempts. Somebody else try pleas. It should now really be a simple problem for Corel's software engineers to solve with a patch.
Thanks so much,
Just lucky.. Also, it appears to be a Vista issue Only. X3 on my WinXP machine does not exibit this problem, no matter what the DPI setting. I'm running 64 bit Vista. As with "all" previous Windows releases, there is a growing pain period. Looks like only those who pay for support will actually be able to get to Corel.
Thank you so much for figuring this out. WOW! I have the X4 version and your correction works for that release as well. GREAT JOB!
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!!!
