I don't use Corel, but a couple of things I notice on that screen: one is that you probably want "convert spot colours to process" checked (unless you have a specific reason not to). Two is that the "2 issues" tab looks like a warning screen - is that nothing relevant? Or do you need to address those errors to get the results you want?

here I'm just trying to follow what i have seen in the tutorial given to me..and that i want to learn...there tutorial actually has a function of that Advance Setting..
You've fixed the spot colour conflict and it's gone from having two issues to one issue. I don't think that's a coincidence, so I'd say again it's worth checking that tab for conflicts.
I think ou have to have a postscript printer or printer driver in order to print the cmyk plates with screen angles and frequencies. I don't use corel much anymore, but I think that's how it works. Do the other seperations- spot colors- show up in the preview?
OOPS, that's not right, the seperations should show up even with a regular printer.

Do you have a rip installed? I use Ghostscript/Ghostview and this works for me: From Corel,under the General tab, print to file using postscript independant device. Then look under the Separations tab. This may make the advanced options you want available. You can input your settings, go ahead and print to file, then open the file in the rip to print out.
You need a postscript printer and driver to be able to print what you want. I just look at your screen shots again and on the top tabs Postscript tab is missing.
I am having this same problem! It is so frustrating! I need that Advanced setting box to be checkable!! Did you figure out how to make it work??? Please get back to me.

Hi
A couple of the guys have already given the answer. I use Corel X3 and can tell you that you MUST select a poscript printer under the general tab, before the advanced settings within the postcript tab are available. Hope that helps, good luck.
Sorry, I meant to say the advanced setting under the separations tab.
