[Tony Severenuk (Corel)]

I wanted to jump in and let you know that there is an issue with the latest MS fixes across all versions of CorelDRAW (and Quark Xpress...and...) There is a thread on coreldraw.com about this @

If you want the Coles notes version,
<<Uninstalling KB2753842 brings Draw back to normal.>>>

Thought you guys would want to know,

Thanks for letting us know, Tony...

[Ronald Erickson]

Thank you Tony. I can confirm that uninstalling the update fixes the issue.

I was up LATE NIGHT last nite on this ISSUE. Had every thing come to a crashing halt. All my Type 1 fonts in Corel where not showing up (well I thought they were showing up %$#^ white).

THANK YOU for the post.

[Doug Kircher]

Yes, I was also in panic mode. Prime christmas shipping season and I could not engrave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I uninstalled the update and things are working again.........think this may need to be tacked to the top.

rick woodward here. None of you know me, I have recently come back to the forum. Firstly, thank you Tony. Secondly , How do i uninstall a ms update ? My design desk top is windows xp and my new laptop is windows 8. ? Thanks in advance for any guidance, rick

Rick, welcome back, to uninstall in XP go to -Start, Control Panel, Add-remove programs, Windows XP software updates, find the latest update, select it and click remove, re-start if prompted. Haven't messed with Windows 8 yet but a simple google search should turn up an answer.

Thanks for the update Tony. I also uninstalled the update and CD is back to normal. Hopefully this issue will get resolved.

I appreciate the heads up, Tony - saved me what could have been a hair pulling night with a looming deadline! What a great community here!

[Jeff Belany]

This forum is the BEST!! Can't imagine the panic I would have been in when many of my fonts wouldn't work in Corel. Thanks to the guys, much smarter than me, who figured this out.

If Microsoft had a product competing with Corel I'd be wondering what they were up to.

I have Win7 with the specified patch - no issues at all.

[Steve Clarkson]

What patch Tim?

[Tim Bateson]

Microsoft-Update on my Windows 7 x64: KB2753842 - This was suppose to be the culprit.

[Steve Clarkson]

That's the one I deleted that was causing all the problems......did a "patch" actually come out?

[Tim Bateson]

Not sure - I was only stating that I had the supposed "effected" version, but it didn't effect my machine. Glad too as this week has been non-stop. I love being a last minute shopper, but being on the other end is a pain.... I may start charging a Premium $ this next week.
