Question
My friend just bought a new computer. It has Windows7. He seems to be having issues with download and saving files with Corel3. Is there a patch for this, or is this 1992 Corel issue too old? And is there an update for an issue this old. He really loves this issue. He is a real whiz in design!!! Thanks for your help. Collette Acres

Answer
Hi Collette

It's hard to answer this because CorelDraw 3 is absolutely ancient and I certainly can't test it on my Windows 7 machine because I don't have it. CorelDraw X4 is the current release and it's not much different really, he could use it straight away out of the box so I suggest he upgrades. I used V5 for years, then V8, then X4 and the differences seem quite minor for my own work.

So I'm sorry but I just don't know why it doesn't work properly but the latest versions really do create good .pdfs and he won't need to buy Acrobat with X4, so if he is a design whizz that might be what swings it!

All the best,

Ran
