CorelDraw 8 incompatible with Windows 7?

I installed CorelDraw 8 (several times now) and tried various compatibility options, but it still not work or even open; There is no explanatory error by Windows message appeared. The only error message I get is of SmartHeap, but it is not a Windows problem. Is CorelDraw running on any Windows 7 machine and how?

This is a very comprehensive answer, posted in another thread by Legendre (MVP):

You may need to contact Corel for a upgrade of CorelDraw 8 (if all goes well at a reduced price) to a later version.  If this isn't the case, you can try available for you Compatibility Modes, or a Virtual PC solution.

Corel Draw 8 Windows is always gettable?

  • Z3100: z3100/3200 incompatible with windows 10

    It seems that z3100 and z3200 are incompatible with Windows 10 - they will work, but the driver cannot report problems and the HP utility cannot see the printer.

    If someone managed to find a workaround?

    Roy

    Hello

    At present the HP utility does not work with Win 10 when using a USB connection. If this is your case, try to connect the printer to the network.

    In addition, make sure that the port on the driver is set to the IP address of the printer.

  • Why World of warcraft is suddenly incompatible with windows 7?

    It is copied from a blue response on the WoW forum
    With the release of Patch 5.0 and Pandaria mists, the repair tool was wrapped in the game. The game will now be stream repair automatically when it detects corrupted data files.

    There's always ways for the repair feature must be blocked to fail. In these cases, you will still encounter an error, but there are some things that you can do to solve the problem.

    Please note that if you have or find an old copy of the repair tool, it will not work with the current game. The old repair tool cannot identify the current version of the game and only tell you to reinstall. This isn't always the best answer, so I would recommend first using the link above.

  • Persona fingerprint reader digital software of Vostro 3550 incompatible with Windows 8

    I just downloaded the newly released Windows 8 iso and run the compatibility test. All material is supported in some way, even if there is mention to get the new drivers from Dell. However, the fingerprint reader is listed as being incompatible with Windows 8. I went to the homepage of the Digital Persona and they no longer support consumer products. Result is, I fight a machine from Dell which is less than 2 years old and is loaded with a piece of software is no longer supported by the vendor. Anyone have any suggestions on alternative software that will allow the fingerprint reader to work with Windows 8?

    Thank you

  • Adobe Photoshop Incompatible with Windows 7?

    In general, I have no problems to install Microsoft, Corel, product HP software products products AV, dozens of others products of companies on my computer Windows 7 Home Premium. I never had problems installing Adobe products on ME, XP, Vista. However, each recent Adobe product, I bought have failed to install on Windows 7 Home Premium and this usually takes several hours to fix, if it can be fixed at all. It involves the creation of new accounts, disabling services, disable UAC, making restarts partial (I didn't even know those existed) and restarts normal, etc. (I have administrative rights on my purchases.

    Today I was working (taken from my desktop computer control) customer service. We failed to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.

    During installation, a windows dialog box displayed where it says that the Adobe installation .exe file is incompatible with the Windows UAC.

    There is clearly something wrong with the installation program Adobe because Adobe products are the only products that can not be installed.

    Why is it so difficult tp install Adobe products on a Windows 7 system?

    Anyone know what is happening?

    The Adobe installer is really incompatible with Windows 7 as Windows dialog box said?

    Thomas

    Thomas,

    To add to what has been written, install programs as an administrator

    usually results in fewer problems. Regardless if the account has

    permissions administrative, should always right click on the installer and run as administrator.

    What you're saying, the problem must be something special on your computer.

  • Finally two updates slightly incompatible with Windows 8.1, appearance of flicker black dots on the screen?

    I would say that this last two updates. latest Firefox version 32.0 have a compatibility issue with Windows 8.1.
    My laptop newly bought worked fine with Firefox until recently. About two to three days before, during the navigation. blackheads should blink on the screen. At first, I figured well problem of pixel, but after testing the same sites with IE 11, these black glitter points seemed not at all. I tested it with chrome and no points.
    These black spots have not appeared before on Firefox, only recently. Unfortunately, I'm very uncomfortable with the use of Firefox that I had been using this browser since 2005, but this compatibility issue makes it difficult, cause flickering points can be annoying.

    What you describe was reported before and it is almost always bound by graphics drivers. Firefox will (by default) use hardware acceleration to help speed up the rendering etc. On some graphics cards/driver combinations (most with Intel video) people reported black dots. Disabling the hardware acceleration option usually clears this up.

    Does look like this: https://bug913419.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=831738

    Some other threads for reference:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/974717
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/856277

    It is not limited to Win8.1 - were reported on both Linux and workaround there is to change the method of hardware acceleration... until the Intel video driver has been updated.
