CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7 Uninstall utility for CDGS X7?

Uninstall utility for CDGS X7?

Hi all,

I think something has gone skewiff on my system with the update to SP3. X7 has become erratic in its responses to menu choices, when it was working fine before. I didn't see any error messages while SP3 installed, but I'm pretty sure some of the code has been broken. In any case, I'd at least like to get back to what i had before -- a working SP2.

As often happens on Windows (Win7 x64, in my case), an uninstallation through Control Panel doesn't do a complete job. I would like to remove the suite completely, so I can do a new clean installation.

Any tips on getting back to scratch, please, so I can try again?

Thanks.

Bran

Hello Brian; You can try Repairing the Corel that you are using by going to Windows Control Panel and selecting Programs And Features then select Corel X7 from the list, then select Repair at the next drop down. That may make you happier with the latest ver. to use. ( If it Works.) You can also try Holding down the F8 while starting Corel, that's also a Reset for Corel just not quite as good as using the control panel method.

Thanks for the replies, Bob and George.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the whole business of uninstalling, but it always leaves stuff behind. I've edited the registry in the past, but there are always keys that aren't named with text strings -- the ones with alphanumeric strings as names, for instance. I specifically asked about a uninstallation utility for a reason; please don't assume that because i ask a question I know nothing about anything, as so many people do on the Internet. :-)

I've tried Repair options in the past (not of CDGS, I admit), and they always have negative outcomes in addition to the positives, so they're a mixed blessing. As a rule, I generally don't touch it as an option.

Anyway, I appreciate the responses.

Some custom files are stored on your personal folder (usually C:\Users\All Users\Corel) such as some preferences of the program. There's no difference if you just want to uninstall Update3 then reinstall the original version and upgrade to X7.2
