Corel Draw X3 freezes..

[MercWork]

Now and again when trying to open a file in Corel Draw X3, as soon as you select the file to open, it just hangs there and freezes. The file isnt even a big file, ie 300k!!!

If you then look at the Task Manager it shows not responding.

It doesnt do it on every file either, just now and again.

anyone got any ideas what this could be?

Just incase its needed, the PC is running windows 2000.

Cheers

Hi Merc...I have had this problem also. It seems that the problem occurs when the program comes across a file that it doesn't understand when you select the open file option. In my case it was certain PDF files. You can work around this by either:
1. Setting the default open location to another folder that is empty.

or

2. Moving all files a couple at a time from the default open location until you eliminate the offending one....

you could also try turning off the preview option (small checkbox under the preview thumbnail) to stop it trying to preview the file...

hope this helps.
