I am using corel X6 64 on a Dell optiplex 9010 intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz. 8.00GB of RAM. Its taking about 1-2 minutes to copy/cut/open a file/save a file or even publish to PDF. On the same machine Same circumstances but different User i have no problem. I have to use my user because its connected to my email and at this company i cant change that. I have researched many forums and its not color styles or object styles. It does it on a new file with only one object created. I got a new computer signed on to my user account and the problem persists. PLEASE help.
Do you have disk quota with your account? It could be you might be running out of available disk space causing issues with temp/swap files etc. if another user which has presumably sufficient disk space is not experiencing the slowdown.
Another option might be to "reset" CorelDraw's settings to its defaults in case its workspace/settings got corrupted and they got imaged/restored to your new computer. You can do this by holding down F8 while starting CorelDraw.
Disk quota was not enabled. ive deleted all temp files and reset the workspace to no avail.
Then I have the same question as Harry, to check the difference in installed/running software between your account and that of the other user.
Also sensible to run a good antivirus scan and in addition:
Hey Harry, How do you run the sfc /scannow ?
Nothing seems to happen if you just click it from the Win 7 search?!
It has to be run with administrator privilege -- but even if you are an administrator, you do not get that option if you run it direct from the windows run box.
One method, assuming you already have administrator privilege, is to make yourself a desktop shortcut:
Now, each time you need an admin prompt you can right click on the new shortcut and select the "run as administrator" option. It is then sufficient to type sfc /scannow in the new command window.

Good to know... Thanks
My company has an IT department and maintains our systems integrity.
To answer your question about what programs are running differently i ran corel with nothing else open. There were however a lot more processes running on the slow user (which is fast in everythingsave the above mentioned problems). Here are two screen shots of the different users.
sorry wrong screen here is the good user
