So I have been using Coreldraw X8 successful for a long time. Never had any problems.
Today I cannot open any files. Whether I double click the file of whether I open i via the 'open files' dialogue, all coreldraw does is hang and freeze and I have to kill it. I can create a file Ok and I can then save it, but I cannot open it again.
I have tried the F8 reset option.
I have cleaned all temp files using ccleaner, manual deletion and windows cleaner.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it - twice.
I have rebooted PC more times than I care to rememeber.
when it is hanging and I launch task manager, I see corel font manager active - using 7% CPU time, but draw itself is marked as unresponsive.
Not sure what else I can do - any suggestions?
Thanks!
You have to update the CorelDraw files and the account also. If the module is not updated, then this issue happens. You have to make sure that the files are compatible and do not have any external virus in them.

Nothing obvious.....
Any recent windows updates?
Is .cdr associated with CDX8?
Thanks, I resolved this. By a process of elimination I realised that it was files that included text that wouldn't open. I uninstalled the font manager, no difference. Reinstalled it, reset the font database, and eventually it was ok.
No idea what caused it, clearly something corrupted the font database in some way.
