IT department swapped out my old laptop for a new one, reimaged everything, including Corel Draw X3 Graphics Suite. I now have a new problem.
1) When I create a new graphic and give it a name that is the same name as an existing file, Draw will overwrite the original without asking me if I want to replace it.
2) When I export a graphic to gif, I have to click in the save as type window, even though the file type "GIF - CompuServe Bitmap" is already shown. If I don't, Draw will export the file with a "cdr", but the file cannot be opened as a cdr file.
3) Added to that, when I export to gif, after clicking on the save as type window (which re-selects GIF...), the file name shown included 2 dots, as in graphic1..gif.
How do I make sure that I am always asked to if I want to replace an existing file and stop the annoying problem of Corel adding a second dot to the file name?
Is the new laptop running the same version of windows as before ?
X3 was designed to be run on windows XP. Newer versions of windows will probably work too, but may require the XP compatibility mode setting.
You also need the X3 service packs. SP1 is available at ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/CorelDRAWGraphicsSuiteX3/ but you also need SP2 which is not available from any official source.
