Just a guess, but since you said it's a new system, is there a printer installed and set as default? That used to be a problem with Draw, don't know about X3.

Yes, there is an HP 8150 (11x17) nework printer and it works just fine.

Before you do a total uninstall/reinstall, try just removing that utter shite CARM applet...

is this with all files or only a particular file or two? Were these new files created in X3 or imported from a previous version? Anything common in all of those files?

is this being saved to a local or network drive?

could be a corrupt workspace. have you reset the workspace to factory default?

Happens with all existing files when change anything and attempt to save or export. Happens with "New" file when I try to save as. Only thing in common is that they all require write to disk.

Local drive (D for data). Network drives E and F are local to this machine, but not being used for save.

I haven't found any way to do this. Found nothing in Help files.

I'm pretty sure the only way to drive a stake through CARM's heart is to uninstall it. IIRC, you can run the X3 setup program again and deselect CARM...

Launch X3 and immediately hold the F8 key. This will put the workspace back to the factory default. It works for any version of Draw (well, at least back to version 7)...

Thanks. I never knew how to do that. Anyway, it apparently resets the defaults. However, 1. New (blank page). 2. Put a square on it. 3. Save - CARM again.
So makes no difference, but one more thing eliminated.
I have also tried Photo-Paint and the same thing happens, so it looks like a common dll may be missing.
Paint Shop Pro (also Corel, formerly Jasc) works. fine.
