Boy Corel Draw is batting a thousand. HEY COREL.....Your so called patch for your um "software?" screwed up the quick correct. and fixed nothing for me.

Laughable

Not looking for a reply there's no point.

truly dissapointed

 If you aren't looking for a reply, you probably shouldn't post.

If everyone was crashing 3-5 times a day, this forum would be clogged with screaming people.  At the time of this writing, 240 people are visiting this forum and only you are complaining. I suggest you may have  a system problem that is causing your crashing.

If you genuinely want help with your Corel Graphics Suite, be civil, ask questions and consider the possiblity that it might be your particular environment and not the software.

Now, do you have a question?

Rikk, perhaps we should have a Corel Rant forum instead ^_^

Yes, nice signature too Andy. Perhaps instead of slamming a piece of software that the majority are more than happy with, you should change to a software suite that you ARE happy with?

As for requiring no reply.... why did you post?

Andy:

Because he cannot find the Corel Rant forum.

Andy:

I think Window's Paint is the answer.

Because you dont whant an answer, I can tell everyone else then, and you, that over here its sunny and nice weather. I just had a cup of tea, earl grey, and a small cake at this local café. Two italian turist just came in and ordered cappuccino. They sat themselves on the outside seats of the café. People are smiling. And I am just to start working with a drawing in Photo-Paint X4

 Funny. Y'all replied ROFL

As Ive said a million times 'Im forced into this'. Its my career. Would you quit a job because your one and only tool doesnt work? I dunno but Corel corp must have hogged up a copy right to a scale utility within a drawing program. That is the one and only reason I suffer this crap. Even the Vp of customer relations, GM you know who you are.... cant follow through. Just another affirmation that this truly is some crap. Well its been nice arguing with each and every one of you that cannot help or refuse to believe that this suite has some serious issues. Enjoy. And when the next  bundle of crap comes out and y'all cant figure out why the hell your investment refuses to work, You can rest assured that coming here for help will only result in a bunch of flames portraying how its you and only you that is the problem. I will be using illustrator, smiling, knowing you are probably suffering as I did.

As far as why did I post. Pissed y'all off didnt it..... Got to put some crap round the roses

This truly is a waste of evryones time as the software is a waste of mine. For what its worth, evryone I know will more than likely end up purchasing anything but Corel Draw for their digital illustration needs.

Flame away

Solution: Stop blaming the tools and put the responsibility where it belongs; YOU DO NOT LIKE YOUR PRESENT JOB CONDITIONS!

Sort of petty, isn't it? Does that make you feel better? (Reminds me of an elementry school student in the school yard, doing "Neener-neener.")

Then, get out your check book and purchase your anything, then find something else to complain about.

Andy Middleton:

Andy, I wish you well.  I hope you survive the crucifixions 'persons of attitude' receive in the Adobe Forums. Good Luck.

Andy Middleton:

Are you aware of the term Flame-Baiting?

Incidentally, you are currently a member of a helpful forum, among individuals and professionals who are happy to lend advice and try and resolve any problems and answer questions that may arise.

Perhaps you need to seek employment at an establishment that uses AI as its primary design software?

Andy

 Rick, thankyou for the well wishing. With luck Adobe's software will work Unlike Corels s. I wont be a person of attitude due to Lack of Support and a company ethic which appears to be "Screw the user/ customer. We'll just rip 'em for the money then laugh when nothing works properly"At sometime or another, y'all will experience something like this.

Andy, Corel Draw is one huge flame bate. Still waiting for some real helpful input. The helpful stuff I have had has not been so helpful. if that makes any sense. I have tried everything short of scrapping this um........ asseblance of code. Seems even the folks at Draw are constantly on vacation. so no help there. want to talk about baiting. Lets see. spend a nice wad of cash on software that doesnt work then go to the website for support and find out you gotta pay for it. Thats baiting and in my view should be a F*(%ing crime!!!!! The audacity of it all. So forgive my audacityits not aimed at any one individual. The Corel Corp seems to be one big rip off.

Yeah Hugh sorta like your screen name. Wish my mum was that cool lol neeener neener

anymore punters? Good grief.

This show that we are here to help people on our sparetime, you are just tiresom with your crap. Go to your Adobe heaven and stop wasting our time.

Andy, it seems that you are reluctant to admit that it's your personal and system problem rather than the software, because if the software itself is so crap, there won't be so many of us here using it with a smiling face.

 Andy, I don't know what you do - not very much, judging by the ammount of time you must spend writing your tirades - but I'd guess it's your creativity that's wanting rather than the tools.

Anyway I'd suggest that nobody reply to his posts in future. When I first joined the forum I thought his rants were quite amusing - they're  boringly repetitive now, I use the forum, and newsgroup, not only to seek help but pick up useful hints and tips from other people's questions and answers.

There's a load of really friendly and helpful people here and I'm sure they'd rather be spending their energy on geniune correspondents.

All the best, Colin

it still remains that the guy is having serious technical problems. his problems were posted before and a multitude of suggestions were made that, it appears, have not worked. if i recall he is working in a graphics house with IT people implimenting safety measures for computer protection. i can't help but think this is the problem. it's unfortunate that CorelDRAW is the software being worst hit.
