Corel Text Troubles

[D3G]

Good Afternoon,

I am having a problem with Corel X3 and wanted to see if I could get some help from one of you. When click on the text tool and i try to use the font dropdown the program issues an error message, something about runtime error, and then just shuts down. Any advice?

Thanks,

D3G

I don't know for sure, but maybe there is some sort of conflict with a font????? Maybe too many fonts????

How much Ram do you have?

hold the shift key when launching corel to reset preferences to defaults... if that is no good then re-install.

go to COREL AND DOWNLOAD UDATES................M/S did some kinda update to XP, and it messed up corel!!!
so corel did a SP2 update to X3. when you install update it should be version 13.0.0.739

I had a similar problem with X4. It turned out that I needed a new graphics card.

or a new driver!

Well I tried the suggestions so far and I still have the same problem.

Joe - I do have a bunch of fonts (500+) but I haven't changed anything in a while. It's not like I added fonts. I have gig of ram which I know is weak but this just all of a sudden happened.

Old Paint - I checked my version and I have 13.0.0.739

I've reloaded the software, checked for duplicate fonts, etc. I guess next course of action is to remove all of the fonts I have loaded and just reload the essentials for the software I'm running.

Thanks for the responses, maybe I should just go grab a couple of cold ones!

something about runtime error, and then just shuts down.

OK.. more info is needed.

Go to your event viewer application log and see what detail there are about the error.
Post them verbatim here. (google them too)

don't know anything about XP Event Viewer?

jiarby,

I'll figure out the Event Viewer out tomorrow, getting ready to call it a night. Not sure if this will help but the error message that comes up goes something like this:

Runtime Error:

Program:...\corel\coreldrawgraphicssuite13\programs\coreldrw.exe

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Like I said I'll figure out the event viewer tomorrow and post what I find. Thanks a lot for trying to help me.
