Why wouldn't you want X6 though?

I guess I just never understood when buying something why you would want to be behind already after a purchase.

 

From what I have been told Corel has had issues when installing a new version without first removing the old version. So I would wonder if these people having crash issues have done a clean install or an upgrade?

 

That wouldn't surprise me.

The embroidery program that I use which uses X5, it requires you to make sure all other versions of Corel are uninstalled before you install the embroidery program.

 

At the moment, I dont believe mimaki has their fine cut software compatible with x6, won't be available for another month or so. You may want to check mimaki's website.

 

I've had x6 since the week it came out. I have not had any issues with it crashing and did an upgrade not a clean install.

 

Sometimes the previous plugins have worked with the newer programs. I know the CutStudio plugin from Roland that was designed for CS4 worked with CS5.

I am not saying that it is the case here, but I think that some people are lucky and are able to get it to work while others are not. However, unless I'm doing some print and cut application, I tend to directly cut from Ai or Corel anyway, because of that I still haven't gotten the CS5 plugin for my cutter and still have the CS4 one.

 

Hmmm, that is a strange issue. I don't recall any of the others that had the X6 trial complain of that issue.

Might want to try to re-download the trial.

It could have gotten corrupted while downloading. Or something hinky could have happened during the installation process. Or you might have something on that system that doesn't want to play nicely with Corel.

If you are able to re-download it and for some reason it manages to work after that, you might want to see if that X5 plugin might work on X6. It's a long shot, but it could possibly work.

 

I'm having problems with X6 also. Clean install on new custom built computer. X6 will open and I can do layouts with no problem. Save and try to re-open. Crash. The trial version worked fine. I bought the upgrade, but installed clean. it just keeps crashing. Does not crash on my machine with X4 still installed. weird. I'm going to call them tomorrow. It is really slowing me down.
