I tried opening up a project in my CorelDraw x7 and it is loading very slow! I JUST bought a custom build computer with 16GB and fast processor, so it should not be doing this. I tried opening up the same project in illustrator and it loads just fine.
When I try and open in Corel, it loads every object and layer of object one at a time. When I try to move an object it loads everything on the screen one at a time again.
It would be very difficult to work on anything with this issue. Any ideas what is causing this? I'm thinking its a corel issue since it opens up fast in illustrator.

Hi Judy,
I did not read all of the message. Did you install X7 Update 2 ?
Yes My Corel X7 is version 12.2.0.688 with 2nd update installed.
Also to let everyone know, I just downloaded X5 back on my pc and I can open up pantone documents just fine, including the example that I uploaded in this thread. So a bug definitely got in there between X5 and X7

In just the last month I have blocked :
Security Update for Windows 7 KB 2918614Security Update for Windows 7 KB 2993651
Those are the only two updates I don't have in windows. Wonder if either of those make a difference. The reason they are blocked is because with them installed I couldn't even open coreldraw. (or microsoft outlook)
Just to show I'm not running a super computer:
I checked out the pantone vs rgb issue just to make sure my computer wasn't changing anything.
Not all of the colors in my document are Pantone. There are 3 RGB colors, Black White and one of the greens and 2 Grayscale 100% black and 0% black. They aren't shown below as there are too many colors for the macro.
Can you confirm in the test file that they are Pantone or RGB? maybe my computer is converting a bad pantone color.
Here are just the colors in RGB and grayscale colors, I've deleted all pantones and added a cyan background so you can see them. I've attached the file too.
One other note, this file was saved as 'slowcorelexample.cdr' yet my computer is opening it as Untitled-1.cdr, like it is an import and not a straight opening. That might be because i am opening it straight from the internet as a temp file. Not sure about that.
Hope this helps someone.
Here's a modified file. All Pantone. Should run better. I used Pantone Plus version 2. If someone doesn't have that swatch, I'll upload it.

I seem to be having the same problem as the op. I posted a new thread but then read this. if the op could do us a favor and try disconnecting the computer from the internet and see if the problem continues. my issue disappears if I disconnect the LAN cable then restart corel.
