Corel Draw 12 - Updated & Now Crashes

[cbjroms]

We are running version 12 and have installed a couple of the updates.

The computer now crashes (in particular when we try to print) and gives a message about incompatibility with Direct3D.

We have tried reducing the hardware acceleration setting on the PC (ie Display Properties) and this has certainly improved the situation. But it is still crashing albeit less often.

Any ideas?

Thanks in anticipation.

what's the error message?

When I look at the XP Event Log it tells me that:

faulting application coreldrw.exe version 12.0.0.536
faulting module mfc71.dll version 7.10.3077.0
fault address 0x00023fcb

Thanks in anticipation

You should folow the best practive of updating your video drivers ... this may solve the issue ... also ensure you have all the latest Direct.X stuff installed.
