Hello,
I have tried installing Corel Draw on my new computer with Windows 7 and it works great (as a trial only)...As you can see in the screen shot I have no way of activating my product...Does anyone have any insight into what I can do?
Is that a link under the A of Already Purchased? Or a request to press A as a shortkey? Seems rather unintuitive if it is, but the underline has got to be there for a reason.
Failing that, is there anything lower down in the scrolling area ?
It is neither, I believe it is supposed to be a button with a link from what I have seen in other screen shots during my research.
The only thing that you can scroll down to is a dead link to the purchase the program.
Find the coreldraw.exe file and right click on it to bring up properties.
If not already there, try turning on XP compatibility mode and run as administrator. [I'm not currently on a W7 machine, so may not have the exact labels].

I wonder if that could be another manifestation of the nVidia desktop bug mentioned in one of the other threads?

I wouldn't have thought of that move, but glad you let us know what you did to get it going. I didn't know Windows 7 had a safe mode, it's one of the best Windows I've used after Windows for Work Groups.
