About two weeks ago Corel X6 stopped working, and I can't repair it, uninstall it, or reinstall it. Is this common? How do I fix it? I'm running it on Windows 8 on a recent Lenovo Ideapad.
Hello WRalphWalters; I'm running X6 on Windows 7 Ult and it has been working well. If you have been using X6 on that system before and it worked I would look to see what in the system has changed, A Windows update maybe?

The weird thing is I'd been laying out an album cover for a couple hours, then it automatically shut down (which it does a lot). Usually I just restart and hope I saved my work, but this time it wouldn't open the program. No updates had occurred for a couple days. I just need to get rid of Windows 8...

That means that there's some problems on your computer, that cause this shut down, and perhaps the program was damaged.. First of all, try to check the system, then you can use the same install files for "Repair" the installatios, or fi it's necessary, uninstall it then install again, but Repair should work. The installations files are on the Program Files / CorelDRAW / Setup folder

How long since you emptied the %temp% folder (or ran a program like cCleaner, which empties the %temp% folder) ?
Too many files in the temp folder can increase the probability of crashes.
