Corel v10

[schallow]

Do you suppose Corel knows something its users do not, until they install the program? I will post a screenshot of a "neat" goodie upon program crash...I could see this in a beta, but a final release? Come on, Corel! Get with it and support your users! See below screenshot! It should say "Our friggin program is unstable...got any ideas?"

Do not bother installing v10 on a Win98/SE system. It will not work.

So, ran out today and bought WinMe and guess what, all (so far, am knocking on wood) is working fine!

That screen you see is a recovery manager that allows you to safe your work or keep working without loosing data, plus it enables you to send a message to Corel informing them of the problem.

Only problem is...does anybody at Corel look or give a damn? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

Gee Fontman if you really don't like Corel Draw why are you using it? I'm sure there is something better out there for you.

Cause of all the friggin money invested into it for upgrades since version 1! :>)

Kinda like some marriages...

I would never have guessed that Windows Me would work. I thought it was just a prettied-up version of 98. Do you have any idea WHY it works? What is different about Me structurally, as opposed to cosmetically? Any ideas? I haven't been following the magazines on this issue, so content have I been with NT. I would be grateful if you or anyone else knows why Me might work with Draw. Doesn't it still use the DOS 64K bottleneck, for instance?

I have always felt that after I pay a whoppin price for software then a few months later, they upgrade it and I see the version I have reduced in price 80% at the stores, I've been ripped off. The upgrade offers make me feel as if they are trying to keep their hands in my pocket. Its NOT something I'm pleased about, I don't buy upgrades, I use what I have, Corel Draw ver.7 has been doing what I need it to for several yrs now, although I very seldom use draw 7 any more because Xara blows it away, I still use Photo Paint 7 a lot, unless Corel wants to send me free upgrades (I'm sure they don't) my next photo paint upgrade will be Adobe Photoshop.

Somewhat Rebellious, Yes, its just the way I am

Dunno what the internal changes are to Windoze Me vs. Win98, but it makes Corel v10 work fine. No crashes after EXTENSIVE testing!
