Dear other Corel-users,
Since a while I'm using Coreldraw X3 and very happy with it.
However I sometime create files, which I cannot open anymore. I tried to recover them and googled the internet for possible solutions, but until it always ended up me recreating the files.
Until now.... but the file which I created yesterday contained a lot of work... I don't want to do it all over again. That's why I'm asking your help now. It's the menu for my brothers restaurant and the deadline is tomorrow :-(
The file is around 75 Mb, and contains multiple A3 pictures (explaining the size). I just realize that the problem always occurs when I converted a photo to duotone and then to CMYK.
When I'm opening the file the Corel A.R.M. starts and going through the screens it always ends up in a "hanging" Coreldraw, which I have to close with the taskmanager.
What I already did / tried:
Does anyone recognize this problem and is able to give me a solution? Because I'm not looking forward to do all the work again....
Thanks in advance!
Peggy

Thanks again!
I opened it with CorelDRAW X4 -- although it took awhile (HUGE file!!) -- with only one point where it was ready to abort but like I said, I worked around that. I was ready to save down to version 11 so that you would have been able to open it in X3, but Hugh beat me to it.
Hi!I encountered the same error pattern with my only 2,7 Mb file (but 16 pages)! I think I know the image that corrupted all my file. It an image of a Haiti flag at the end of the document. I dragged and dropped it from a webpage directly, I think it made my cdr unstable. I cannot open it now, neither the backup! Help! :-( I don't want to redo it all over again...
I can send the file to you by email ? So you can try to open it and then save it in another version?
Thank you so very much!!Diane
I'll 'friend' you so we can email direct. I can give it a try from there.
Should have a working copy now.
