Message: Cannot find the file \\...\...\style.cdr(or one of its components.) Make sure the path and file name are correct and that all required libraries are available.

Occurs: When a .cdr file is opened by a double click

System: This appears on a new IBM Netvista 8310 P4 with Windows NT Workstation that I installed fresh, everything was working fine for a month then one day the user tried opening a file by clicking on the .cdr file instead of opening Corel Draw 10 first then opening the file (as this method works just fine) but when she clicks on the .cdr file to open it displays that message but then still opens the file in the back of this message wheather Corel Draw 10 is unpatched or patched to Servicepack 1.

With Servicepack 2 applied she gets the message when trying to open a .cdr file by clicking on it, but it will not open the file in the background of the error message unless the file has been opened and closed at least once before (either closing just the file or exiting coreldraw 10 completely)

I tried uninstalling CorelDraw10 and reinstalling to see if it was the service packs (as I had a situation with service pack 2 before and everything she did worked just fine without it) but I get the same message even after a complete uninstall & reinstall w/ no patches, with ServicePack 1 or with Servicepack 2 installed. Obviously the files are trying to be opened from a network drive (Novell drive mapping) I don't know how to stop this from happening unless I reinstall the entire system of which I am sure that will work but would rather not if possible.
 
Hi TheRetard'

Did you uninstall w/ the corel uninstall feature or did you uninstall thru the control panel program remover? Sometimes the uninstaller supplied with the program doesn't remove all remnants of the program.
