For a comprehensive list of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite system requirements, visit coreldraw.com.
Windows 10 Arm-based devices are not supported because you cannot install and run Windows x64 apps in that environment.

However, not all old apps run on newest operating systems despite the bitness. I own for example CorelDraw X3, which does not run on Windows 10. But I run it on a 32-bit Windows 7 Client OS on virtual machine regularly (on a 64-bit Windows 10 host). That setup is also useful for running 16-bit apps on a 64-bit windows Machine, which is not supported directly.

Hi, i'm trying to install coreldraw 3.0 on my 486 but it hangs when calculating the needed disk space. I'm using a 4gb CF-Card. I have 1.66gb of 1.72gb as free space.
Too much free space? Any ideas? Need more details?

This exact same thing happened to me this past weekend. Mine is a 486 with a 540MB size limited BIOS, but have a real HDD with a 2GB partition on a 20GB drive, driven by XT-IDE-on-a-NIC. I installed bazillions of programs before Corel 3.0 into that machine and everything works fine.

When it get stuck (It was not frozen, I could go back to program manager and run other programs) I decided to let it finish it's calculation for about 5 hours, still nothing happened. I'm also guessing it's due to "insane amount of" free space.

Back in the day we installed it on hard disks up to 1 Gb in size and it worked fine. I still own it, and also still have the manuals (in Dutch unfortunately). I'll check this weekend if there's anything in them that can help.

I ghost imaged my exisiting 2GB (only about 300MB is used) DOS partition on the 20GB disk to the secondary disk, then installed a 420MB ancient Conner in place of the 20GB, copied the image on to it, installed Corel 3.0 (without any glitch) and ghost copied the resulted partition into the 20GB again, and everything is nice and dandy.

Funny thing is, that Conner was apparently infected by an ancient virus (Junkie 1027A) and till I became aware of the situation, it infected all the HDDs on this machine and a few floppies, too. According to the database, it infects MBR of HDDs accessed *.com files and also floppy boot sectors. fortunately, F-Prot from 1997 is good enough to easily remove it. It was an unexpected little fun, considering I had nothing to do with viruses for the last 15 years or so ?

Ok i tried it again. I used another 4GB CF-card. I still used EZ-software and partitioned to 500mb, 2gb and the rest. Installation worked on d: (2gb).
As coreldraw makes a temporary directory on c: it seems it is a problem with disk size.

I just want to add, though I don't have a wife [[[sniff]]], I also was trying to install Coreldraw 3 on my WFW installation and it wouldn't work. This is on a Western Digital 2GB (1.8ish i think) WD caviar drive. So no, you guys aren't alone in the universe.

It works for me, I've written a DOS game engine based off of a bunch of thrift books I picked up that uses 320x200 PCX images. I'm told that for proper pixel scale at that resolution I should be using a native 320x200 application like DPaint but I just haven't been able to figure out how to use that sucker.

Uh, that's apples and oranges.... One is a vector drawing program, the other a pixel drawing program. I'd say each has their own application. But yeah, Corel Draw always was a bit weird. IIRC it had its own kind of virtual memory management, not unlike Photoshop.

I was dealing with stuff back then beyond photos and all the Corel stuff was supposed to be the sh... back then. I found it horribly overrated. Paint Shop Pro was a refreshing light piece of software without all that baggage... one one CD I still have the last version that installed on Windows 3.x. Already 32bit but running with Win32s

Actually I was using Micrografx Designer (2.1) for vector graphics and also found CorelDraw as "unnecessarily bloated" to say the least. But Photoshop and CorelDraw was still not something that you can use one instead of the other. (and I was using Paintshop Pro instead of Photoshop because it was also too muıch for my humble needs and my more than humble 386SX PC ?)

Nah, you would use Corel PhotoPaint for that. Can't remember if that was included with CorelDraw 3.0 or not... You can also use CorelTrace to trace (duh...) images in formats CorelDraw doesn't support.

If you do a search for " Launcher cannot connect to corel draw" on Google, you can see a lot of people have this problem, but no one really gives a solid answer on how to fix it. Questions in Corel Draw forum. Have you tried a system restore to before this happened? Maybe a Windows 10 update caused the problem.

Ok, So have you tried it in compatibility mode Windows 7? On your Windows 10 computer? By the way, Seeing as how you have a Graphtec CE6000, didn't you get the Graphtec Pro Studio with it? Much better software. It's like Flexisignpro. It's over a $1000 software.

windows 10 is the bane of my existence. i had to buy a new laptop to run my laser machine - too bad the only ones out there are now win10. i bought my coreldraw 2018 and life was good until there was a forced win10 update. then is basically semi-broke whatever good thing i had with the laptop and software. it would take upwards of 5-minutes just to send something to print. not because it was a difficult design or a large file, it just semi-broke. whatever that update was, it must have had some firmware update too, because i scrubbed and reinstalled windows, then reinstalled coreldraw, and the problem still lingered.

*for the record i tried to disable any and all auto update settings that win10 has in place when i initially fired up the laptop, no bueno. win10 still proceeded to update and break what was once working flawlessly. now every time i walk past the laptop, i do so giving it the "stink eye," if for no other reason - that it makes me feel a little better.

I have CorelDraw 2019 and I was doing fine until two days ago. Now it says It can't connect to CorelDraw. I've uninstalled the Silhouette Connect Software and installed it again. It worked for one time only. Now I get the same message again.
