Question
Have Coreldraw 8, just installed Windows 7, will not open old files - invalid file format.
Is there a solution?
I run Windows 7 64 bit and have no problems opening files from XP in CorelDraw X4 but I've not tried version 8, which I was using until quite recently.
The OS should not affect how you open previous files. Sorry to say this but are you absolutely sure you are trying to open the actual .cdr file and not a windows shortcut file or something?

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!
