Hi, I'm considering X3, and my first test was to read old cdr files which I made with ver 3.0 Is it possible at all ? Thank you

Just tried to open a V4 .CDR file in X3 and it's "processing" forever... I can't <esc> it... any ideas how to stop it? (safely )
(I still have V8 installed and it opens the V4 file, so all is well with the world )

It's a CAD drawing: the bones of it was created with a simple CAD package, then taken into Draw to annotate and colour-in. There are no fancy things like dropshadows or clips; the only thing I could think on was that it was stuck trying to regenerate some of the texture fills, but since this hasn't changed from V4 I doubt it.
In the end I had to bring up task manager and "end task" - don't like doing that; never know what you'll come back to.

I have a Windows 95 machine I keep for this kind of thing.
I could load CorelDRAW 4 (or an older version) on to it and then move the file(s) forward in versions for you if you like.
Or has the conversion been done already?
I have CorelDraw ver 4.0. It will not save projects in XP Home. I bought ver 12, and I'm converting my files with some difficulty. Version 4 will export everything except a couple of graphics on each file. As I'm reading all the conversations, I notice they are saying that ver 5 files can be opened by any version. If so, do you have version 5?? I would be happy to pay for the file conversion.
