Title: PC or Coreldraw 2017 - which is causing CD crashes?
Post by: Squeeky on March 02, 2018, 11:31:03 AM

Not sure if this is right place.  My CorelDraw 2017 64bit keeps crashing in print preview mode.  CorelDraw Support is ridiculous. Their fixes are delete all temp files, reset all CD settings & reboot.  I can't tell if it's just crappy CD2017 or if it's my PC?   Had same problem with CDX7 & X8  not much with X6.

Built in 2015:
AMD FX7359 8-core, 4.0ghz on a Gigabyte motherboard w/artic alpine cpu cooler
16 GB DDR3-1333 Kingston HyperX black memory (4x4Gb maxed on board)
AMD Radeon HD78 series  2gb
C drive for programs WD Blue SATA 1TB
D drive for all data 1TB SATA
Corsair 650Watt power supply
Samsung HDMI 27" monitor
Win 7 (tried 8 & went back to 7) 64-bit
CorelDraw 2017 at 64bit
All Advanced Artist tools for simple seps, designbase, etc.
Using AccuRip to Epson 1430 printer  But happens in print preview to canon desktop ptr also.

Kinda hate the idea of installing all my software on a new PC, but the crashes everyday are terrible (esp. when I forget to hit save every few minutes while working.) 

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

I would deinstall advanced artist, restart computer see if that help, if not try using f8 key when starting corel which restore all setting in corel see if that helps. i run x7 and 2017 no problems with print preview here.

I seem to remember a thread here questioning if CorelDRAW2017 played nice with Win 7.

the only problem is that I need my AA programs, especially the Simple Seps.  I use it all day long, makes changing colors a breeze & then if I have to separate with it, it speeds me up on halftones, trapping & spreads.

Could it be the SATA harddrive not fast enough for C: drive programs?

No thats all i run sata 7200. Delete the programs see if that helps. Color changes in vector in corel is simple. Or your do raster color changes? I dont use it. If you dont have problem once uninstalled that tells you if its core or the other.
