Error Code: 193

Win 7 did some updates. Now I am unable to run CorelDraw GS X5. dialolg box says; "Unable to load coreldrw.dll. Error code: 193

Anyone experienced this recently? Better yet got a fix?

Thought I'd check here prior to doing another install. I have deleted Temp files to no avail.

UPDATE:  Rather than do a complete re-install of CorelDraw Graphics Site X5 I tried reinstalling the SP3 and Hot Fix 4. DONE DEAL!

Still maintained my Recent list and all.....

Thanks George for your reply.

  • Hello Rod; Keep in mind that Corel is a 32 bit program, but you can hold down the "F8" key while starting Corel it will reset it to a factory out of the box state. ( That might work )

  • Sorry to bump this, but had the same error with Corel X5.

    Applied SP3 and the hotfix, everything works!

     

    Thanks Rod!

  • Surely you have installed some malicious software. A browser toolbar, most probably. Check for the addon toolbars in your browser's addon manager and disable it. Also you may have to uninstall it from 'Add Remove Programs'. I know a few that mess up DRAW are SearchQU and Ilivid.

    Edit :

    Some users get Error code : 998 but the file CorelDrw.dll is common.

     

    • @Anand,

      That's the weird thing about this. I restored my PC with a 'snapshot' to a clean state when COREL was freshly installed. And it suddenly refused to work. (really weird).

      I tested the 'Snapshot' before and Corel worked perfectly then but now when restoring the snapshot corel errored...

      It's fixed (at least for now) ... and HarryLondon, thanks!
