coreldraw problems
hey guys. i have a problem??? my computer shut down for a while so i decided to download a free trial of coreldraw on another computer! i,ve created over a hundred designs and stored them on a usb zip drive storage thing! now the free trial is over and my computer is working fine, but i cant veiw the art work on it(and yes i have coreldraw installed on it)! now the funny thing is, as of right now if i plug this same zip drive into the other compter that the work was created on i can see the artwork and everything,but like i said the free trial has expired so i cant print or make any changes to it. what can i do???

Are both the trial you downloaded and the installed version on the other computer, the same versions of Corel?
As in, did you install the trial X5 on one computer and you had X4 installed on the other.
If so, X4 can't open X5 files.
When you say,can't see them - do you mean the thumbnail doesn't show up in explorer?

BUNDY! thats what it is, the trial is x5 and the installed version is x4, but still theres got to be a way that i can get my recover my work???
I am not sure if there are any version conversion programs but I haven;t seen one yet. Your best option is to uninstall then reinstall X5, and as steve said, resave all your files in X4. But I am not sure if uninstalling X5, and a reinstallation will extend or renew the trial period. I guess you just have to try and see.
This is how you would need to do it. The only way to use or view a new version on an older version is to save the file as the older version. You can view and use older versions on newer versions but not the other way around.Open the trial version.
Open one of your X5 files and see if it allows you to save as a previous version.
If it does, then save them all as X4 version. see attached.
didn't even think about x4 and x5...yeah I agree.
I have x5 on my computer but we use x4 for our printer. When I save my artwork I just save it version 14.
File>Save as> window pop up> right hand side look for the version it will be defaulted on version 15 (x5)>scroll down to version 14 > hit save

Don't think the trial will work again on that computer. Go to a friends computer download the trial. Save as, as spoke above. Keep both versions cuz you may go to 15 at some point. Hand the friend a beer, delete the trail. On ward with art fun.
I had a similiar problem several months back. Corel placed an entry in your register that shows you downloaded a trial version of x5. It won't let you download another on that same computer. Go to your other computer, download the x5 trial on it, load your zip drive and save your work as x4. Worked for me.
Good luck.
Good luck.
yea,but is it gonna conflict with my x4 version if i do that??? you know having both versions on the same computer? when i first got my x4 version i had the x4 trial on my computer, and i had to delete it in order to to install the regular one, but this x5 trial is a whole other monster. they wont let me uninstall this one. what do you guys think???I had a similiar problem several months back.

I have X3 X4 and x5 on one computer no problem it sits up seperate files. Plus if you want to git rid of the trail you may have to go to registry editor and delete all entries that refer to that version. This can be dangerous and really screw up things. be sure to back up your registry before making changes.yea,but is it gonna conflict with my x4 version if i do that??? you know having both versions on the same computer? when i first got my x4 version i had the x4 trial on my computer, and i had to delete it in order to to install the regular one, but this x5 trial is a whole other monster. they wont let me uninstall this one. what do you guys think???
That could be a problem. I actually have 4 computers so didn't install it a second time on one with x4. You should be able to remove the x5 trial with this. Hope it works for you.
