Corel Draw X3 Runtime Error

[handrawn]

hi welcome

another corel document or another program, and if so which?

[Nina]

From any other program - from my e-mails and from word documents, I can't copy from that and paste it in Corel Draw for some reason.
I design ads and most clients send me the photo's and descriptions in an email - using Microsoft Outlook.
But as soon as I copy the photo from that or even open it through Corel Draw it gives me the error message that Corel Draw is Unstable.
I have to save everything first and import it into Corel draw for it to work.

sounds like a memory problem

if you are not having problems anywhere else then the physical memory [RAM] is likely ok

but you should check that you have enough for the operating system you are using - coreldraw uses a lot of resource

you could also try reinstalling it

[Nina]

Thank you so much!!! I'll try that!

Had several problems with DrawX3 running on Windows XP.
Ran the windows compatibility wizard, and made DrawX3 and PhotoPaint X3 use Windows 2000 compatibility mode.
All problems solved, now runs without a hitch.
Give it a try, it may work for you.
