Question
I have similar problem reported by others to your forum - I have been using Corel Draw 11 for several years but just recently loaded Windows 7 %26 trying to save a file I get message 'Temp Drive or ourput drive may be full' I've emptied Temp file in Windows, switched off backup on save as suggested but still cant save - any ideas or is this a Windows 7 gremlin ?
Hi David
I run CorelDraw X4 on Windows 7 on my home PC and have had no problems. I can see yours is an earlier version but I doubt if that is the cause of your error.
You can check the location of CorelDraw's temp folders in Options (Ctrl+J) then Workspace/Memory. Both of mine are set to the default C:\Users\Ran\Appdata\Local\Temp. Presumably you're working locally (on your internal hard drive), in which case you are sure there *is* enough free space on drive C:.
Possibly something that CorelDraw has done within your file is preventing it from being saved. Are you able to save a very simple file containing just a small square, for example?
If you are still stuffed a last resort is to uninstall/reinstall CorelDraw (I hate to say it but it sometimes cleans things up!)
Please let me know how you get on, good luck.

| Comment | Thanks - the problem resolved itself after I closed & restarted the CorelDraw. I was frustrating & I panicked as significant work was lost by closing. I can confirm the memory setting are the same as you suggested. Hopefully it wont happen again & that its nothing to do with Windows 7 - just seems suspicious that it had not happened before & it occured a day after loading Win 7. Thanks again for your assistance - its great to get some support when you are in a pickle ! Dave G | ||

Expertise
My main area of continuous expertise with CorelDraw involves setting press advertisements and I have rarely used it to produce complex drawings. However as director of a small company I have amassed a good deal of background knowledge of computers, various printers and networks over the years. When it comes to problem-solving, I have a long history of having nobody to ask but myself and, lately, the internet!
