Replied to this post: http://community.coreldraw.com/forums/t/5286.aspx which I found when I googled for some help about the "Failed to launch server application" when trying to edit a bitmap out of CorelDraw, only later saw that specific post was for X3. I have the same trouble, only with X4.
To recap my problem:
When calling the "edit bitmap" function in X4 - I receive this message: "Failed to launch server application". Paint opens, closes, opens, closes and then the message pops up.
I tested several files, different bitmaps, different dpi's, new files with newly converted bitmaps (filled rectangle to bitmap). To no avail.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hello; I tryed the X4 trial ver. and it changed all of my "CDR" files too ver X4 even thoue I hadn't opened them. You may have something like that? But it would let me open and save them back to the ver 11 I was using untill I got the X4 ( and it's the best CorelDraw I've ever Used.)

Installing a newer version of a Software does not automatically change the Format or Version that the initial file was saved.
These files will automatically open in the newer version of the software. And if not saved in that version, the file will open in Draw 11. No need to resave them in version 11.
After uninstalling the Newer version, files will open in the older.. in your case 11...
Remember, that this will only work if you have not done any changes and saved them in X4/X5 Format.
If you did, you will just see a blank page.
Hello Adrian; What it did is went in to "Vista" setup and set all the cdr files to X4, and what I did was changed it back.
