Whenever I right-click a file or folder to produce the pop-up menu so that I
can delete or do other admin stuff, I encounter this error msg:
Key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Corel\CorelDRAW\10.0" Value: "ConfigDir"
not found in the Registry

The comp hangs for a few seconds, before I can click OK, then the 2nd error
msg comes up:
The base UI Language directory is invalid

This 2 error msg would repeat for a few times while I click their OK button.
repeating, taskbar would vanish and then restore again, before the comp
resume back to normal.

Whenever I right-click again, the same problem would recur.

May I know what is the problem? How do I go about rectifying it?

Click to expand...

The problem has to do with Corel Draw 10 - as is shown.
A Google search brings up a few possibilities...

1. Click Start - Run
2. Type Regedit and hit the Enter key
3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Corel\CorelDRAW\10.0
4. Verify there is an entry called ConfigDir
5a. If this entry exists, rightclick it and choose Modify. Verify the path
is the installation path (ie. c:\Programs Files\Corel\Graphics 10\Config)
5b. If this entry does not exist, right click on the right hand side and
choose New String Value
6. Rename it ConfigDir and hit Enter
7. Right click the new string and choose modify
8. Enter the correct installation path in the Value Data field (ie.
C:\Program Files\Corel\Graphics10\Config)
9. Click OK to close the Edit String window and click Registry, Exit

There is also the possibility of a permissions issue...
 
Hi, I can't find the folder CorelDRAW/10.0 actually. I've tried searching for
this error msg on the web, and there are a few replies. But the replies they
got were to grant permissions, which I can see is pretty complicated.

Sometimes another error msg comes up:

Key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\" Value: "ConfigDir" not found in the Registry

I'm lost... and it's getting really irritating.
