Does anyone suffer corel not been able to save your work?

[Martin Pearson]

I don’t use corel so not sure how it works but if it is similar to photoshop then you can try and increase the amount of system memory it uses while running and more inportantly the size of the scratch disc as this is where it saves to when working.
These can probably be accessed through the settings. The scratch disc is an area of normally your "C" drive but if you have a second HDD fitted which has lots of spare space it is normally better to use this.

Thanks for the info, does anyone know how to set this up?

Computers are great when they are working, mine is doing my head in at the mo (:)

Are you sure your hard drive is not full up? If not, you can go to the Help menu on the tool bar and type in memory, there is loads of stuff there.

is this Corel Draw 11 ? which version?

[Rod Young]

Is it worthwhile to purchase extra memory for your system? Is your current design typical, or are you working on an unusually large and high-resolution work?

IF it is what I think it is,,, then no… when I get the version number I will post

[Pryam Carter]

I am on version 11, yes.
My computer has plenty of memory, in fact it’s very high spec. there must be a setting that when altered, remedies my problem. (?)

I had a feeling you was going to post Corel 11…
Alan D might correctly me shortly as he knows more about Corel then I do, but we had major problems with the TEMP error that corel produces, there is three bits of advise I can give you.

1: Attempt to Save your document by using CMX export or delete the parts of the document and keep the bit you want, save to new file name if you can. Just keep breaking it down until you remove the offending item.

2: Make sure you are using Corel 11 with the last service pack installed. You can download it from here
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite? … 3321280066

and make sure you install the Save Fix, I think this was the fix for it.

3: Upgrade to Corel 12 or X3, both don’t suffer from this bug, but as with all Corel’s there are issues.

[Alan Drury]

I missed V11 but I do remember issues with the ‘out of memory’ warning.
Dave is right, 1st off make sure you are on the latest SP with the update. You can alter the RAM usage under options – memory I remember vaguely that some said this had helped however an upgrade to V12 or X3 may be the answer. I’ve never had this issue with either of these and X3 does have improvements, tracing and contour just being 2.

I also get this problem – Temp or output drive may be full… Happened about 1 hour ago !! It seems to happen only with big files – lots of bitmaps etc. I just open a new document, save that (empty) document to a new name, and then drag all the artwork from the offending doc to the new one, and then save again – and delete the old. Since it saves the same artwork on the new document, I also concluded that my system was o.k. Will try the fix also – didnt even know this was a bug in 11 !

Cheers Dave………

I’ll load the patches and see what happens, maybe an upgrade would be a good idea. This hasn’t happened for a long time and then all of a sudden it crashes constantly.

Once again big thanx 😀

[David Rowland]

yes, corel will crash with large files without the save fix, life is better afterwards
