Windows 10: Installed CorelDraw X3 on new laptop, now the Start menu won’t respond

I am hoping someone here can help me. I installed an older version of CorelDraw X3 on my new laptop which was running Windows 10 S. I switched over to Windows 10 Home, so I could install other apps, not included in the Microsoft store.

I also knew from reading other posts, that the auto installer for Corel wouldn’t work, so I followed the directions others posted, and it installed and works perfectly. The only thing now is that the Start Menu will not respond at all!

Has anyone else had this issue? HELP!

Thanks!

OLD CorelDraw installation weirdness


I have two desktop computers. A new one that came with Windows 10 installed. The other was Windows 7 until I did the upgrade. I tried to install CorelDraw X3 (yeah, it's really old...) on the new computer, but it wouldn't install ... not compatible. But ... I already had CorelDraw X3 installed on the older computer, and now that Win10 is installed there, CorelDraw works just fine.

So...... any way to "force" CorelDraw X3 to install on the new computer?

 

Can't install CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10

Hi:

I am having the same problem. I have CorelDraw X3 Graphics Suite for my design business and just upgraded to a Windows 10 system. I went to install it and I get an error msg saying this version of CorelDraw isn't compatible with Windows 10. I can't afford
to upgrade my graphics software and my old system is toast so hoping you have some suggestions.

Thanks,

Deb

 

Can't install CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10

I (finally! hooray!) got CorelDraw X3 to install on a new Windows 10 laptop, it came with Win. 8 and suggested to install 10 on first boot. The trick was to use the *.msi files (install cd:\CGS13, click on type to gather them together) instead of the automatic
install. I used the setup.msi first (by itself it wouldn't run) and then did the en.msi (English, I think), the vba.msi and the FontNav.msi — the ISUS.MSI seemed to have problems and hung, I think it has to do with updates. You have to do the setup.msi first
as the others will fault-out without it. I then started X3 with F8 pressed. I only installed CorelDraw as that's all that I use. Of course there were no shortcuts to the desktop installed, but that’s easy.

Don’t ask me why X3 re-installed (using the regular install) on my desktop with Win. 10 with no problems — but it did — the new laptop was the only problem.

I plan on removing X7 student (very crippled, IMHO) from all my systems when I feel comfortable with the X3 install on the Laptop, probably in 3-4 months. Yes, X7 (even the student) has some good points, but I am not willing to pay the price for them and I
want VBA.

I have not (yet) had any problems with either system and have opened several old X3 .CDRs and installed several .GMS (aka vba) files.

Also, I have found that opening (in X3) X7 files saved as X3 can have problems if there are any unusual fills.

I will put in a disclaimer here, I do not claim that this is a trouble free install and if you run into any problems you have been warned. I am not a software professional and I do not take responsibility for your install or your system. If I run into
any problems, I'll post them here.
