Hi,
im having a problem with my corel crashing when im about to save a file. The saving process just starts ticking in the background but never finishes or i get an error message saying "program stopped working".
I do succeed sometimes with saving as a pdf, but when trying to open that file, it fails and says its corrupted.
I´ve tried reinstalling corel x6 via CD and updating to latest update but nothing works.
Any ideas?
Running Windows 7 64bit
Thanks in advance!
Start by emptying the %temp% folder, which can easily be done immediately after a reboot -- or you can use a program like cCleaner to do it.
Also, try saving to a local folder rather than a removable or remote drive and if necessary disable antivirus checking on that folder.
If that does not work, you should probably try the F8 settings reset. Close CorelDraw, hold the F8 key and start CorelDraw using the mouse. Keep F8 down until you see a message confirming the reset.
Thank you for your answer!
i tried all of the above but it still doesnt work. I´ve also tried installing new drivers for graphic card etc. Not working.
Doesnt seem like there is a solution to this problem, since i´ve read other threads with the same problem :/
i did not have the "run as administrator" option and unchecking the box in global settings didnt help either. I have notice thou that after im saving a document and then reopen it, the color palette to the right in corel draw x6 seems to change and alot of colors dissapear. (dont know if that says anything tho..)
The palette problem has only been reported recently and X6 has not been updated for several months so its likely to be caused by an update to either windows or another program. Somebody thought it was itunes, but that might have been just coincidence. The reason hasn't been confirmed, but at least three people have mentioned it recently.
Is this a new X6 installation, or has X6 worked before and suddenly changed?
The problem has been solved! I uninstalled iCloud and iTunes and removed my old installation and all files and installed it again. And it worked. Coincidence or there seem to be some conflict between itunes/icloud and corel.
Thank you so much for the help!
Have a nice weekend!
Thanks for confirming the itunes/icloud connection. It seems likely that itunes replaces or breaks a windows common component though I don't have any more details.
What language was CorelDraw on this machine?
It was installed in Swedish
Hi,Corel was release a thread in knowledgebase of support.
http://howto.corel.com/index.php/Corel:Latest_update_of_iCloud_for_Windows_(version_4.0.x)_may_result_in_some_odd_appearance_in_your_CorelDRAW_Graphics_suite_X6.x?family=corel&uselang=en&kb=true
If you change the decimal symbol defined in the OS to be something other than a comma then you can use CorelDRAW and icloud same time without problem.
