Hi,
I have been offered a full version of graphics suite X3 at a nice price. But ... will it work in the new to come version of Windows (7)? I read there were some problems in getting it to work in Vista. Has anyone an idea? Or if not: how can I find out?
Thanx for your help

For work with CorelDRAW x3 on Windows Vista, you need to insytall the ServicePack 2. If works on Vista, surely it will work better on Windows 7, and also you have an "XP mode" on Win7. btw, the best solution is to upgrade to CorelDRAW X4 (or X5)
Thank you for your reply.
I now have CorelDraw 8 on a Win XP-system, very oldfashioned but still working fine, though I need more now. I want to skip Vista and upgrade right to Windows 7 next year. So I understand that CorelDraw X4 will work fine on Windows 7 and X3 can still work in "XP mode".

Is CorelDraw X5 soon to come?
At the moment I guess I have to think/choose between X3 and X4. Is the difference worthwhile? In what ways is X4 better than X3?
Hi Ariel,
Be careful with that 'XP' mode on Windows 7. It requires SPECIAL virtualization support from certain INTEL CPUs. It looks like AMD chips are not going to work and many laptops will also not support this. It will also only be a feature of the higher end Windows 7 versions (Pro???).
