Strange, you may want to try and reset Corel. To do this hold down the F8 key while starting. It should give you the option to reset to factory settings. This will default EVERYTHING though, so if you have some custom macro's and such you may want to back those up. It won't do anything to your already saved drawings.

Hope this helps.

That must be a Windows 7 or newer option as nothing different happens when happens when I press F8 and start CD.I am running Win.XP. Could it be that XP has updated itself to often and is not compatible with CD X3 anymore? There were a bunch of new updates on Dec.18 and thats about when CD started acting up.I had an older version of Alibre design quit on me a while back also for no apparent reason.I have deleted and reloaded both and it made no difference.Allan

Your operating system shouldn't make any difference. Are you holding down the F8 key while Corel starts? It should bring up a popup for you to reset.

Yes I am holding down the F8 key while starting up Corel and it starts just like normal.
