CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 CorelDraw 16 and Windows 8.1

CorelDraw 16 and Windows 8.1

Just upgraded the computer and OS to 8.1 and installed CorelDraw 16, but I can't read the menus. The text is white on black and very fuzzy. Also, some of the ME fonts are rectangles? Also, how does one link the file so that you can share it with the readers on the forum?

To paste an image in a reply here, you first need to go to "use rich formatting" and then look for the "insert media" icon.

But the problem is likely to be that X6 is not "intended" to be used in windows 8. X7 is the only version that claims windows 8 support.

That said, many others here are using X7 in windows 8 -- posssibly by right clicking on the coreldrw.exe and corelPP.exe files and selecting windows 7 compatibility mode. I'm sure a windows 8 user could give better instructions.

X6 is officially supported on Windows 8.1.

This post by Gerard suggests the same.

Pratik is correct. X6.4 included some features intended to assist working on windows 8.

I think that probably implies that there were some expected problems with versions X6.3 and earlier. So the first check is to make sure you have the X6.4 updates at

Note: There are no patches for the Home and Student version of X6 which might also be less likely to work in windows 8.
