CorelDraw design software

[Timothy442]

Hello,
Please help to solve my problem with coreldraw(CD) design software. Every time when I try to open coreldraw, I receive this message: "ERROR"

How to get rid of this "ERROR"? Could anyone suggest me a proper way how to fix coreldraw?

Lol wow Corel Draw. Have not heard about that in a long time. I would consider looking into another program given how old it is. You're probably getting that error since it's not compatible with your version of Windows.

I know that many people don't use Corel Draw anymore but I need to open it

I would try to install an older version of windows like windows 98 in a VM and see if you can install and open it there. Might get lucky.

OK, I'll bite. The "real answer" is that you haven't provided enough information for anyone to do more than toss out random, vague suggestions. To that end, you could just try uninstalling then reinstalling it, too..

But if you want more specific help (if anyone here knows about the program, of course), you need to provide more information: what version of the program is it? What computer (especially which CPU and the amount of RAM), and which operating system, are you trying to use it with? What was the last operating system version it did work with? Should we be assuming the program actually installed correctly, and that one word "error" is literally the exact text of the (only) message it displays when you try to run it? Or is this an error you get when you try to simply install it in the first place?

I am using Corel Draw Х7
Lenovo T560 Intel Core i7 vPro, 32 GB
Windows 10 The last operating system was Windows 8
The program installed correctly. Yes one word displays: "ERROR"

Just looked it up. I didn't know it was still around. Looks like version X7 was released in 2014, and X8 this year. Fairly modern software. Per wikipedia...

CorelDraw X7 on Windows 10 requires Update 5

Maybe that's the issue? The error couldn't be less descriptive :^D

Wow who knew. Did not even think of googling it since I thought Corel was dead decades ago lol. Kinda nice to see they're still around though as they are a Canadian company.
