Draw5 works just fine under 95. You will want to get the free patch upgrade to
5 that adds specific support for 95.

Where can I get that from? I'm running CD5 version D which seems to run
OK - what difference does the patch make (I'm working on the "if it
ain't bust don't fix it" principle!)

I'm only using Corel Draw and Corel Trace, BTW.

Thanks

Mike

It should run okay if you are using revision F5 or later. The current revision
is G1 or G2. I am having no more problems under Windows 95 than I had running
under Windows 3.1 8^)

I don't know. But Corel Draw 3 runs well under Windows 95. In general,
Windows 3.1 software runs OK under Windows 95 (the operating system is
designed to do so!). But I wouldn't trust Corel not to have uninitialized
pointers or other programming errors that might make the program sensitive
to almost anything.

Well I'm not having much luck!!

I just upgraded (from Windows 3.11 to Windows 95) several systems that
were using Corel version 4 and since this upgrade they can no longer
print to the networked (Novell v4) printer. The GPF is in
'CDRGFX40.DLL'. So.... I decided to bring in my personal copy of
Corel 5.0 and to my surprize, the same error occurs - except in the
version 5.0 module 'CDRGFX50.DLL'.

An interesting point I must include is that I have Windows 95 loaded
at home and Corel 5.0 prints without any difficulties.

Any ideas??

Will my Windows 3.11 copy of CorelDraw 5 on CD-ROM (includes
Ventura, Photo-Paint, Chart, Move, Show, etc.) run properly under
Windows 95, or do I have to upgrade to version 6?

-----------------
Have either of you tried deleting all traces of Corel software from
your harddrive (EVERYTHING including .ini, .bak, etc.) and doing a
completely fresh installation of the version that you desire? I
know that Corel recommends this for upgrading versions of their
software, so maybe this recommendation applies here too?
Regardless, let us know the results...

Good Luck!
