Since i upated to Windows 7 I needed to update to Smart Designer 4.5. The problem is that since installing Smart Designer 4.5 I keep getting visual basic error messages in the other two programs. any suggestions onhow to resolve this?
Hello icotta; You may need to down load the latest updates for Windows 7.
My Thoughts George
A repair installation of X5 might also help, but that's just a guess.
Likewise, you could also try reinstalling .net 3.5 from the microsoft site.
icotta; Harry has a good idea on the .Net down load, and it can't heart anything. Not having Smart Designer, I am just guessing, and you might want to go to the Corel.com and select Smart Designer and do a live chat and ask what is need to be down loaded from MS.

Corel x5 will NOT install - Wilcom does NOT give you a serial number to install the "integrated" x5. Wilcom es e2 gold installed fine on an in- place win 7 pro os reinstall. Corel x5 will NOT! It wants a serial number that is not provided by Wilcom.
Win 7 updates: done
Uninstalls & reinstalls done by the book: many times for both programs, all to get Corel x5 past the serial number with no luck. This includes the instructions from both Corel & Wilcom on how to do it.
Uac, virus, firewall: all disabled
Msconfig: all non-windows items unchecked except for the sentinel & protexis. But also tried disabling those too a few times with no luck.
Ready to reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 pro.
At my wits end, Wilcom & Corel! WHY DOESN'T WILCOM PROVIDE A SERIAL NUMBER?
When installing Wilcom EmbroideryStudio e2 (or DecoStudio e2), CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 is installed as part of the Wilcom product. The installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 in that setup is done silently and you should only see a setup window with a status bar. There is no prompt for a CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 serial no. when installing Wilcom e2 and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 as part of it.
That's why there is no serial no. provided by Wilcom or Corel for installing CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 within the Wilcom e2 products.
Wilcom e2 setup can install CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 as integrated component only if it isn't installed already. Please make sure CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 is uninstalled before you run the Wilcom e2 setup.
