Hello
I do have problem with my newly installed CorelDraw X5. Before X5 we used Corel 12 in our company.
I have project file (150 MB) with lots of text, bitmaps, vectors - about 100 pages. File opens but I can't save it. I always get OUT OF MEMORY error. I even tried to divide this file into 2 smaller parts but still doesn't work.
What I noticed - Corel X5 after clean start (without opened project) takes about 80MB of RAM in task manager. When I open project usage changes from 80MB to 1,2GB. While saving it takes 1,6GB of RAM and it crashes.
To compare - Corel 12 and after opening same project file Corel 12 takes much less of memory - about 770MB and it works without problem.
Where from comes this memory usage difference? Any solutions?
My PC:
Windows 7 - 32bit
4GB of RAM
Intel Core2Duo 2 x 3.0GHz
700GB free space on drive C:
Please help. I've read milion other posts about corel memory errors and noting workes for me :( I have no hope :(
HI!
Guys I've found problem and solution !!!! Damnnnnnnnn Im so happy :)
To the point - in my corel file there was single text line filled with white color (so it was invisible) and I didn't see it.
I noticed it while I changed my view to Wireframe. I don't know why but this text line was generating lots of memory usage and deleting it solved all my problems.
Summary - in my case in each my Corel file I worked on there was invisible white text which makes my PC crash. I don't know why and to be honest I don't want to know why.. the bottom line is now it works fine.
Maybe my problem will help someone :)

I am happy too. Good that you could resolve the issue.If you have noticed, I mentioned it in my earlier post.
"It would depend on each individual file, its contents, workflow used by the user, and in some cases the hardware."
Seems that the font data was corrupted for some reason.

Anand - yes, you are right. I was looking for unwanted data and I found it hidden :)
Thx :)
Encountered this problem today but for the first time. I'm using an older machine - XP, SP3. I was updating an older file, under 5mb in size created in Corel X3 and everything went smoothly until I hit save. After an hour of rechecking each element in the layout, I checked the document colour management settings. For some reason, the older Kodak internal RGB was showing as the prime document setting. I changed it to Adobe RGB (1998) and presto - the file saved like a charm... Hope this helps someone down the line.
