- CorelDRAW* 6-X4
- Adobe Illustrator* 8-CS4

No, I mean you can save your file in a lower version of CS5.. but I am not sure what the star means on the system requirements..the website is vague

Here is a forum with the same problem.. again kinda vague

just download a free trial of Corel Draw and try it out.. won't hurt anything until you find out if your version is compatible.

Also, I see there is a members only club try them out too...

Not sure I can help much.....I use CS3 and when I select the artwork and then hit the Greatcut button in the file menu Greatcut opens and I am ready to cut....So to test if this works in CS5 create a small vector art file....Take a couple letters and convert to outlines and that will work as a test.....Then select them and see if it works as I have said...If the great Cut software opens then that part works.....

As far as the DLL problem, I am not able to help.....

Open a new page in Illustrator.....
Type a few letters.....
Select letters.....
Right click and create outlines....
While letters are still selected, FILE > Great-Cut > Auto Export......

Does Great Cut open?....If so, that part is okay.....

GCC Support is great....They can connect with your computer and you can watch them make changes....Next time I need support I will video tape screen so I can make notes because that lady moved pretty fast....
