Reset CorelDRAW to factory settings  This first solutions is quite a simple process to perform. For This user required to open the application, press and hold the F8 key and then start a new drawing page. The application should prompt the user asking if he wishes to reset CorelDRAW to factory default. Press “YES”.When the process completes, the software will be as new. Depending on the CorelDRAW version installed, this solution may not be available in the suite. It has been confirmed to work on CorelDRAW x5.Rename the .DTA file  As various users report, there is an important .DTA file used by CorelDRAW which gets corrupted and needs to be renamed. The procedure isn’t pretty and it may have to be applied each time the user opens the application. Here are the steps:

  1. Open Windows Explorer.
  2. 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”
  3. 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.
  4. Open CorelDRAW and login inside the application. The application should start properly.
  5. Close the application and revert the file name back to its original state.

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.
