Well, I've deleted and installed my new Xara X about 20 times. First time around was a problem with my font file - finally fixed. But Xara wouldn't install until it was fixed. The new problem is a "Serious" error regarding access. Since I'm still waiting to hear from Xara about the minor font problem which kept me from installing the program, I don't think I'll bother them with a "Serious" access error. I've uninstalled. I've followed Judi's suggestions, I've reinstalled. I feel the problem started when I downloaded a lot of the brushes from the swap page. Problem ONLY when trying to use brushes or lines. Any suggestions for a fix?
