Windows 10: 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?

Windows Menu notactive after installing Coreldraw X4

After installing Coreldraw X4 (which is embedded in a embrodery program) the windows menu is not active and only the programs on the homescreen can be activated.

After deinstalling the Coreldraw X4 the Windows Menu is back again.

I have newer versions of Corel but they are not compatible with the embrodery program.

If I install one of the programs to have a old windows 7 menu the menu is also works but this is crappy solution.

Is there a solution to get the windows menu back working.

 

Coreldraw 11: compatible with Windows 10?

My old pc with xp system is failing. New pc has win 10. Can I install my older version of coreldraw 11 on the new system?

 

That is odd!
Perhaps CorelDraw X3 , because it's quite old, is having compatibility problems with your newer computers hardware.
Someone else had the same problem and gave up:
Cant install CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10 - Microsoft Community

 

The link noted on the previous message now includes how to install CorelDraw X3 on a Win 10 system using the MSI files on your install CD.
I've not had any problems with the install on a new tablet/laptop or on my old desktop and I've used old X3 files and X7 files saved as X3s and also installed GMS macros.*Smile Please note that X7 files saved as X3 WILL *Sad fail if there are any custom fills and there may be other similar problems with files saved as an older version - but this is not a problem with the install. I had several that failed with fills that I had scanned in.

 

Have you checked to see if Corel have released any patches for Draw x6? They might fix your problem.

 

Hi, I'm running Corel 12 suite on pro 64 and it runs fine.
You need to install it as admin though. Initially I installed it on a local user with admin rights.
The after a recent update it did not start anymore from the icons in the start menu getting an error message about a missing ifkernel.dll
Then did a re-install/repair as system admin and now it runs flawless, no problems.
By the way, I did install it on a another hard-drive partition, since the c-drive is a SSD. I also moved "users" to another partition to avoid the SSD to become filled up to much, as descibed by Kari the Finn where you also find how to activate system admin.
