Trying to export a very large file as a jpeg but it crashes Corel

I have designed an image to be used on our companies show stand ...the image is very large at 116 inches x 91.5 inches.
It's taken a while but i'm finally there
I have tried exporting to a jpeg now twice so i can upload it to the suppliers site for printing but it keeps crashing Corel!
Any idea as to what i can do?

Is this something that you would be willing to send to someone here? They might be willing to take a swing at it with a different machine / different version of CorelDraw.

Thanks for the reply ...it's 320 MB so it's a big old file!

I guess that I should also ask:

Is your supplier specifying that it should be a JPG file? If so, then what resolution (e.g., DPI) are they suggesting that you use?

I readily admit that I have no personal experience with printing stuff at this scale. If you are lucky, this thread will get noticed by someone who does this sort of thing all the time.

Supplier said it can be tiff, jpeg or pdf ...I tried to export as a jpeg first & after 5/6 mins waiting my screen went blank & i had to restart which corrupted the file too! :-)
Luckily i had a back up ....am now trying to export to PDF

Exporting to pdf worked but for some reason one of the smaller images (on the main image) shows up jagged edges (which it doesn't in Corel) ....it's never easy is it? :-) :-)
