XP - Corel 8 problems

[Bimbley]

I've used Coreldraw 8 for the last year successfully running under XP Pro.
I had to reinstall XP last week and since re-installing CorelDraw will only
run in the Admin enabled account through which it was installed.

Attempting to run it in the ordinary User accounts (two on the PC) throws up
error messages which refer to missing entries in the Windows Registry.

Anyone got any idea on where I should be looking to solve this one please.


Thanks.

Hi,

Reinstall it while logged on as the other users. Just choose the same
destination program directory.

Hi,

Yes, but did you INSTALL it under each user account?

Yes I did install into each account. I expected XP to just do a quick
install of some kind, perhaps enabling application access for each account -
I was surprised to find that the full install procedure ran. Same problem
remained though.

I tried uninstalling from all accounts, followed by an install on one of the
User accounts enabled for admin rights. Same result.

This app ran fine for over a year on this same op sys and same hardware.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that tomorrow morning.
