If that's your case, I'd complain to your monitor's manufacturer. For me, my system (knock on wood) seems to be running fine now, using my monitor's specific driver files. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Hello. I was just trying to print a file from Corel Draw 11.633 to my Epson color inkjet printer. The system seemed to be hanging, and the file wouldn't start to print, so I restarted the computer (Windows XP Pro). Upon reboot and restarting Corel Draw, I noticed that my color palette at the bottom of the screen looked different.
Although the palette indicated that it was showing the program's default palette (CMYK), the colors looked more like an RGB palette. The graphics on the page also looked to be in RBG rather than CMYK.
How do I restore my palette to the CMYK default and have the palette display correctly on screen? This has happened to me once before, but I forgot how I fixed the problem. Thanks for any advice you all may have.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>[img]adan[/img] clari-13@juno.com http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/eek.gif[I]adan[img]dark_dragon[/img]
Hey, sorry to join this convo mid-thread... But i have a similar problem... I've been happily using Corel Draw 12 for a few months now... Yesterday I was in the middle of creating a business card, did File | Print... Changed it from 3 * 9 layout to a single item, pressed PRINT/OK and all the colours just changed before my very eyes... If i export a drawing to JPEG/TIFF the colours come out completely differently.. and in reference to colour profiles, I've checked and there are non listed in Colour Management.. HELP!!!
Corel has trouble with Color Management settings. Once you create them, they do not take effect until you exit and restart DRAW.
When having issues with this myself, I have made corrections by changing my document to .pdf as the Adobe print engine will be what the industry prints by.
If I still have to work and need to be more sure of my colors, I keep Photoshop running in the background and input my colors by then numbers.
Then I find when I restart, I am okay.
You can also hold down the F8 key upon rebooting to restore DRAW to default, however then Color Management is turned off and you have to redo your settings and restart.
This often solves this for me.
