Fix : CorelDRAW
has stopped working on Windows 10 / 8 / 7
- Open Windows Explorer.
- Navigate to C:\Users\All Users\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite\
- Please note that the last item of the path above may vary depending on the CorelDRAW version used. For example, if you have CorelDRAW x8 installed, the path will be “C:\Users\All Users\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8”
- In this folder a file name DR18s.dta will be present. Rename this file to something else, such as “new_DR18s.dta.new”. This should be sufficient for the system to ignore its presence.
- Open CorelDRAW and login inside the application. The application should start properly.
- Close the application and revert the file name back to its original state.
- Please note that the last item of the path above may vary depending on the CorelDRAW version used. For example, if you have CorelDRAW x8 installed, the path will be “C:\Users\All Users\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8”
Note: This solutions has been confirmed to be working on CorelDRAW X8 and 2017 (CGS2017), only that in the last version the file name should be DR19s.DTA. The numbering convention at the very end is strictly related to the versioning of the product.
Repair CorelDRAW using the installation kit Run the installation executable again, usually found on the CorelDRAW DVD you just bought (or from the downloaded installation package). The software will detect that a version is already present on the computer and then will prompt with a menu, asking the user if he wishes to modify, repair or remove the current installation. Choose the “Repair” option.
In theory, this solution should verify all the files currently found in the installation folder and add those that may have gone missing. Alternately, all corrupted files should be fixed with this step as well.
