Saw this on another Corel Problem site

....I had the same problem today and I have spent the entire day getting this fixed. As of right now it is now working, thanks to my Dell tech support!!! He went into the a file that showed what updates I had and noticed a Windows Critical Update early this morning (3 am) so went to the previous date and restored my computer to that day. Viola....it works now.

Well, it was not a Corel problem but a Windows 7 problem. They did a crucial (LOL)update a few weeks ago and that was causing the problem did a restore back a month.
Corel started right up

Just an FYI guys, Corel has a help forum here
http://coreldraw.com/forums/

It is INSANELY helpful. People watch this forum 24 - 7 from all over the world, including Corel employees. I've yet to post a question that I did not get the right answer to with in an hour or less.
